AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Old school friends, a young banker and a scientist, discover a plan to tunnel into the bank vault from a neighbouring cellar. The French burglary team is met by an elaborate trap of electricity and gas when they succeed in entering the cellar several days later. Light tone of youthful experiment - with a touch of man's responsibility. (PB)
