Le maréchal Krieger, un terrible dictateur, attrape la peste blanche, une maladie contre laquelle seul le docteur Galén possède le remède pouvant amener à la guérison. Cependant, comme le docteur ne veut livrer son secret qu'en échange de la paix, le dictateur accède à sa demande et le fait venir chez lui. Galén est tué par la foule avide de guerre, mais, alors qu'il se sait perdu, le redoutable dictateur signe quand même l'armistice.

Philo est à Vienne travaillant pour le gouvernement des États-Unis pour voir si Archer Coe vend des dessins d'avions à des puissances étrangères. Il saisit les plans avec la signature Archer, mais est capturé par la police avant qu'il ne puisse échapper. Déporté, il revient à l'Amérique et des plans pour faire face à Archer, mais Archer est retrouvé mort dans sa chambre fermée à clé avec un fusil à la main. Bien qu'il ressemble à un suicide, Vance sait mieux et le coroner estime que Archer a été tué, frappé avec un objet contondant et poignardée - qui fait du suicide improbable. Mais Vance est sur l'affaire et cherche à voir si les secrets du gouvernement ont été vendus et qui a assassiné Coe. Ceci est un remake de « The Assassiner Kennel Case » à l'aide des dessins d'avions et d'espionnage au lieu de la porcelaine chinoise et des spectacles de chiens.
