Operator #5 V17: Hosts of the Flaming Death

Gold ¿ a nation's strength for war and peace ¿ had been completely looted from the Treasury in Washington by an octopus-like international syndicate. A mysterious madman ¿ more cunning even than death ¿ captained the ruthless spy-crew which was sucking the life-blood from our land. The proudest nation in the world seemed helpless ¿ doomed! One man alone, Operator 5 of the American Intelligence, grasped the full import of that crafty plunder-plan. And he ¿ known to only his best friends as Jimmy Christopher ¿ was spied upon by his brothers of the Service, suspected of treason by a short-sighted superior, hampered by senseless bureaucracy.

In the hour of America's greatest peril, Operator 5 must sacrifice father, friends, honor, and his beloved in order to wrest victory from what promises national dishonor and ignominious defeat!
