Úvodní příběh rozsáhlé detektivní série s kapitánem Hughem Drummondem a jeho partou. Zde poprvé narází na svého úhlavního nepřítele Petersona a jeho manželku, kteří se snaží ohrozit britské království.
The death of Professor Goodman is officially recorded as a tragic accident, but at the inquest, no mention is made of his latest discovery – a miraculous new formula for manufacturing flawless diamonds at negligible cost, which strikes Captain Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond as rather strange. His suspicions are further aroused when he spots a member of the Metropolitan Diamond Syndicate at the inquest. Gradually, he untangles a sinister plot of greed and murder, which climaxes in a dramatic motorboat chase at Cowes and brings him face to face with his archenemy.
When Robin Gaunt, inventor of a terrifyingly powerful chemical weapon, goes missing, the police suspect he has 'sold out' to the other side. But Bulldog Drummond is convinced of his innocence. He receives an invitation to a sumptuous dinner-dance aboard an airship that is to mark the beginning of his final battle for triumph.
Bulldog Drummond has slain his archenemy, Carl Peterson, but Peterson's mistress lives on and is intent on revenge. Drummond's wife vanishes, followed by a series of vicious traps set by a malicious adversary, which lead to a hair-raising chase across England, to a sinister house and a fantastic torture-chamber modelled on Stonehenge, with its legend of human sacrifice.
