тАЬOur job is to find Long Tom RobertsтАЭтАФand that's the beginning of a weird, wonderful adventure that
involved characters like The Honest Pole and a glamour-puss named Canto, who was a legend before
she was twenty-five.

Here it isтАФDoc Savage and his aides at their best!

Chapter I
HE met her finally. He arranged it through the aid of a man called but obviously not named the Honest
Pole. The Honest Pole was short, near-sighted, and he over-filled a Ceylon silk suit. He was only half
Polish, and the other half was anybody's guess as long as the guess was amber skin and slant eyes. He
was called the Honest Pole for the same reason that fat men are called Slim.

He paid the Honest Pole some moneyтАФhalf the price of the job, but it looked like a lot in Chungking
dollarsтАФand he explained to the Honest Pole what he wished. Where, when and how.

тАЬFour men,тАЭ he said. тАЬDon't you think four men will be enough? I don't want it to look fishy.тАЭ

тАЬFour men. Excellent,тАЭ said the Honest Pole in his English that would have been superb if he hadn't
spoken it through his nose.

тАЬIt will be done, then?тАЭ
The Honest Pole examined him thoughtfully. тАЬMore than four men, if you wish. You are very big. Very
powerful, obviously.тАЭ

тАЬBut I walk with a cane.тАЭ

тАЬTrue also. Maybe four will be enough.тАЭ
