Mala, a Polynesian in the employ of U.S. Intelligence, investigates sabotage on Clipper Island. A gang of spies causes the eruption of a volcano, for which our hero is blamed. He convinces the local Princess Melani of his innocence and helps her ward off a takeover by rival high priest Porotu.
Following the sabotage and destruction of Pacific Dirigible Airlines' airship San Francisco on her maiden flight on the new California-Australia route (with the death of thirty-three people on board), the United States Intelligence Department assigns Agent Mala to investigate. Evidence points to the refuelling station on Clipper Island (in the Pacific Ocean). Mala heads to the island as a company radio operator, with partner Hank McGlaurie and dog Buck. The masked master spy known only as H.K. has learned of his mission and dispatches his henchmen to intercept. Also causing problems is high priest Porotu, who wishes to usurp Princess Melani and rule the Komatoans.
