Plot Overview

Bailey is falsely accused of sedition and collaboration with a Communist agent when vital secret documents in Bailey's care are leaked, leading to his private investigator licence being revoked even though he is earlier cleared of the charges for lack of evidence against him. Disgraced because of the false accusations against him by the press, Bailey goes on a drinking binge, but then gets a chance at redemption when a friend recruits him to expose and take down more Communist spies by pretending to do business with them.
