Curtains For Conquest?

When a prominent young nuclear scientist, with the aggressive nature and massive physique of an all-in wrestler, objects to being protected by security guards, he starts a nation-wide alarm which involves Norman Conquest in arrest at the hands of Superintendent Bill Williams, of Scotland Yard.

Incensed by this officious blundering, Conquest acts on his own initiative, and, assisted by his charming little wife, and his ex-tramp Man Friday, he picks up a hot trail—only to find himself pitted, absolutely alone, against a whole shipload of enemies, headed by the sinister and powerful Maximilian Zagora.

It looks like Curtains for Conquest, indeed—until the enterprising young adventurer adroitly turns the tables by unique methods of his own ingenious invention. Thereafter the pace becomes so hectic that even the swashbuckling Conquest is more than satisfied.
