Memories of 1945 come flooding back to Brian Stead when he revisits Berlin, where Mogul are drilling for natural gas. He served there at the end of the war as a Major organising petrol supplies for the Allied Forces and an incident twenty-four years old is dragged up now in an attempt to discredit him.

' Peter Thornton not interested in oil? That's like Laurence Olivier saying the theatre's a bore.' That's the reaction when Thornton, exhausted after being frozen in Alaska and fried in Australia, resigns from Mogul and turns his back on the world of oil.
Can Stead get his number one troubleshooter to change his mind? Thornton, lying peacefully on a beach in Fiji, says no. Willy Izard , lecturing hippies in California, has his doubts but agrees to try.
Exotic Fiji, peace, and a beautiful girl (of course) are powerful influences on a disillusioned Thornton. But Stead has a few tricks to pull before he will admit defeat.
