Hidden Plot at Court as Okuma Strives for Power
In Tokyo during a crisis after Emperor Matsuhito's death, Sir Arthur Sturt and the narrator uncover a conspiracy led by Count Okuma to drive a US-Japan clash over the Philippines. Doctor Fong uses a venation extract to momentarily render the ambassador unconscious and steal a crucial document, but Okuma is outmaneuvered when Fong retrieves the envelope and execution of the plot is foiled. The scene closes with Okuma's deception exposed by a posthumous "laundry" reveal and a near war averted between Japan and the United States.
