The Under-Secretary Of State For War, Sir Greville Strickland is visiting Monte Carlo, ostensibly for the gambling. The real reason for Sir Greville's visit is to convince the Baronne Di Castigliani, who is expected to be the new Head of Government in Italy, that it is in Italy's best interests to dump the Austro-Hungarian Alliance and Germany, and to join up with the new alliance between Great Britain, France and Russia, since war in Europe is expected to break out very soon.

Sir Greville tells the Baronne that Italy's defences will be strengthened by a new invention - the Vickers Machine Gun, which is secretly being tested in Britain.

Unknown to Sir Greville is the fact that the sinister Count von Schwabing and his Fellowship Of The Black Stone are lurking in the background, gathering intelligence and waiting to undermine the delicate negotiations between Great Britain and Italy.

Holidaying in the countryside of England, it is not long before Richard Hannay becomes involved in Sir Greville's affairs.
