But, roaming the world as a widower, when visiting Rio de Janeiro he again became drawn into perilous adventure. There, extraordinary circumstances led to his becoming the friend of a young South Seas Rajah, Ratu James Omboluku. The Ratu is there to secure finance to recover treasure from a sunken ship lying of the island that, under French protection, he rules; and he intends to use this fortune in Spanish gold for the betterment of his people.

But other, led by Pierre Lacost, an unscrupulous ex-Colonel from Algeria, are also planning to recover the treasure. Soon the shifty Brazilian millionaire Valentin de Carvalho, and his lovely young wife Olinda, come into the story.
