The second instalment in the series about the Oriental poisoner and criminal picks up where the first part left off. Gar el Hama, who escaped the police by jumping from a locomotive at full speed, is found in a ditch by railway workers and taken to the railway manager’s residence. Dr Watson arrives to attend to the anonymous gentleman. Sadly, he takes too long to realise who the patient is. Sensing the doctor’s suspicion, Gar el Hama once again manages to escape the long arm of the law. Now begins a furious chase via railway tracks, through underground cellars and the nooks and crannies of the big city. Will Watson and his team succeed in catching the notorious criminal?
