Stead's visit to a Mogul refinery in Africa causes problems for Peter Thornton. The simple job of organising a ceremonial event becomes highly dangerous when a sacked engineer threatens to blow up the refinery.
Exciting film sequences shot in Africa range from a modern refinery to the ruins of a lost city in the jungle, and a desperate drive across hundreds of miles of African bush.

Mogul's drilling operation in Alaska is disrupted by one Eskimo with a high-powered rifle. But is it just one man? Life on the North Slope is tough. But during the ballyhoo of an oil-men's convention in Fairbanks, Stead and Thornton discover that there are human problems in Alaska too.
