Golden Sea. At last week's press conference at the Elysee Palace, le grand Charles seemed intent on proving that he could dampen fires as well as ignite them.

The scientist refuses and is subsequently kidnaped. An imposter is then substituted and the whole plan is about to succeed when in steps Newman...
