Temple and Steve investigate the death of an American millionaire long-term amnesiac, Sam Portland, whom they met aboard a liner travelling home to London. Portland was bound for England having been told by an investigator called Madison, that he had unearthed facts about his lost past. The investigation reveals counterfeiting and smuggling intrigue surrounding Portland's family and employees.
