In the shadowy streets of 1952 London, detective Ah Wong takes on the mysterious case of the Cobra, only to find himself targeted in deadly fashion. When a near-fatal ambush on the Underground leaves him and his ally Terry in peril, Ah Wong is captured and brought face-to-face with the enigmatic criminal mastermind.

In "The Circle of Seven," Ah Wong and Terry are drawn into a tense mystery when a scientist’s nephew warns them to watch over his uncle—someone with a dark past tied to the infamous Circle of Seven, a secretive group known for extracting secrets through torment. The warning hangs heavy as the duo navigates a web of suspicion, where every ally could be a threat.
In "Ah Wong's Quiet Day Out," a sudden splash and a muddy mishap send Ah Wong and Terry fleeing from a reckless driver, only to find unexpected shelter with a man Ah Wong seems to know—though he can’t quite place how. The quiet day takes a turn as old memories stir beneath the surface of a familiar face.
