The Honourable Phryne Fisher is on her way home, driving past Victoria Docks in Melbourne, late evening when a shot shatters her windshield. She stops, to find a man wearing an anarchist tattoo, lying on the road, bleeding. He dies before she can get medical help. Along with her companion and maid, Dorothy 'Dot' Williams, and her friends, Burt and Cec, she attempts to solve the mystery of who shot and killed this man. Along the way she meets and is attracted to an anarchist with a strange past, who goes by the name of Peter Smith. Phryne and her friends assist Inspector Jack Robinson of the Melbourne Police to solve the murder, encountering, in the process, a bank robbing and an abduction.
