His life takes a sharp turn after he saves Miss Fenshawe from a runaway carriage and meets Baron von Kerber, who offers him a puzzling job on the yacht "Aphrodite". Royson's shifting circumstances pull him into different social circles as he unwittingly becomes part of an adventurous and dangerous scheme linked to the yacht's real mission.
