James, in which stowaway Stan Desmond boards the whaleship Southern Prince hoping to become a whale harpooner, only to discover the vessel is a "ghost ship" equipped with U-boats and engaged in a secret military operation involving the sabotage of Allied shipping.
In rugged Cornwall, a young man named Alan Tierney is ambushed by a footpad while carrying mysterious parchments—but rescue comes when Sir Launcelot happens upon the attack and takes charge of the documents. When Launcelot discovers the papers reveal hidden treasure, he leaves Alan in hiding and rides to confront Sir Robert Beden, the Grey Knight, who has claimed the parchments as his own at his castle. Alan watches as the two knights clash in mortal combat, and a chance to help his rescuer presents itself in an unexpected way.
