He goes to The Green Dragon Club to interview its owner Mr Popoulos. After he leaves the head waiter Bergman calls him from a phone box but is shot dead by an unseen assailant before he can say much.

Baxter is more successful than his boss at chatting up the office secretary, Sally, and asks her to dinner at the Green Dragon Club.

Sally does some sleuthing on her own and finds valuable clues. Baxter tracks the gang to its lair, but then Sally is kidnapped by Mr. G, the gang's secret mastermind and tied up in a warehouse.
