The Manila police informs the Dutch police for the assassins apparently are of Dutch and English origin. When it is know it is a Naga leader who has been assassinated, the Nagas think the Indian Government has ordered the killing and the people come close to an uprising. When the Manila Police just in time find out the assassins were of quite other nationalities in the nick of time a potentially bloody uprising can be averted, but the secret services of India are purged from within.

The chase is on to find who is behind all this and as not even the assassins know but that the plotter has something on them so they could not refuse his offer when caught in Rio de Janeiro, things are clouded again.

When the plotter finds that the exposure of the Naga problem does not gain momentum enough, he decides to become drastic. He flies to Amsterdam and arranges with the UNPO office to surrender himself before a world audience of journalists, but with the understanding that his actual motivation is highlighted. This press conference from the UNPO office creates havoc in international circles and the secret service of the Netherlands finds itself in a predicament.
