Rangoon, Burma: in the sweltering depths of the Burmese jungle, the army uncovers an weapons cache buried by the Japanese during World War II. But when the recovery team is shot down, the weapons are stolen by arms dealers. Hearing of the theft, Tremayne suspects that the stolen arms will soon come into in the possession of gun-runner Paul Hartington; he sends Craig, Richard and Sharron to investigate, but the Champions are then captured by Hartington and his men...
