Drummond Pursues International Plot In Berne Hotel Alliance
In December 1918 four men meet in a Berne hotel plotting to paralyze Britain and seize world power. Carl Peterson leads a syndicate of Hocking, Steineman, Von Gyntz, and American Hiram Potts. Retired Captain Hugh Drummond answers an ad for excitement and uncovers murders and robberies by the Peterson faction at The Larches and The Elms. He rescues Potts, loses torn paper, and faces threats as the gang abducts Mullings and Drummond stays the night. Irma Peterson warns of danger as Drummond dodges death and plots to foil the hoax.
