Mon onlce threw le maire out of the door -- I went out after the men to help them bring in the casttle -- From the start something about him wasn't very pleassant -- I didn't reply--I couldn't -- I caught a glimpse of that dead white face -- I heard something again rattle softly against the side window -- Something flung around and smacked me in the face -- It staggered out from the bushes and laid down in the clearing -- We coasted down the path, a long glorious swoop of ride -- Mon oncle climbed into the cockpit, in between the wings -- We stole along through those gravestones, hearing the wind come sighing to us -- We crossed the creek, the water wetting us to the skin -- That blind peddler--I thought saw him bending over me--and he wasn't wearing his glasses! -- We saw mon oncle land. Thre emen from the black limousine ran to him.
While visiting his uncle in the mountains of France shortly after World War II, Johnny stumbles upon an evil plot being hatched by a fugitive Nazi spy.
