An EOD technician must have the brains of an engineer, the hands of a surgeon, and the courage of a martyr. In the US Navy, carrier flight operations only occur under the watchful eye of EOD Techs ready to respond to ordnance accidents. US Marines assault enemy beachheads only after EOD techs clear the littoral seas and landing zones of mines. The US Secret Service even relies on military bomb squads to protect the president and visiting foreign dignitaries.

Stirling Deane has sold the Little Anna Gold Mine which he discovered in South Africa. The sale has made him a rich man and the head of the company to which he sold the mine. A former acquaintance from his days in South Africa has shown up and claims that he has the original deed to the mine and that he is in fact the owner of the mine. Shortly after a meeting with Deane, the man is found murdered and the deed he claims to have had is missing.
