'Though it makes no pretense of being a successor to 'God's Man,' it has by a curious coincidence the same central theme, 'the great opium conspiracy'. It is the story of Yorke Norroy, secret agent, and the chase of the four jade plates. On them was carved the secret formula for making of smoking opium. The Chinese Government wanted them badly - so did Yorke'.
