Storyline

On a whim, Lord Brett Sinclair and Danny Wild spend the night in the great outdoors. During this "back to nature" action, Danny discovers a seriously injured parachutist, who is stuck in a tree and cannot free himself.

Right before departing from this life, Springer passes Danny a small suitcase. Then he closes it with a handcuff on Danny's wrist before pulling him up completely ordinarily. What the American still does not know at this time is that he has become the target of two secret intelligence agencies with this decorative ornaments. On one side is the British secret service and the other is a foreign one with the same scope.

As the two investigate the case with an X-ray machine, they note that the secret agencies might not be the worst. This case is in fact a time-bomb that will decompose the carrier to bits and pounce the parachutist.
