The microfilm is believed to be in the possession of a group of thieves, led by a man known as the Robber Baron, who have recently been targeting wealthy businessmen and politicians.
As Solo and Kuryakin close in on the thieves, they discover that the Robber Baron has arranged a meeting with several of his associates at a mysterious location known as the Round Table. Suspecting that this may be where the missing microfilm is hidden, Solo and Kuryakin hatch a plan to infiltrate the Round Table disguised as members of the Robber Baron's gang.

Along the way, they cross paths with a number of colorful characters, including a beautiful accomplice of the Robber Baron and a ruthless rival gang leader who is also after the diamond.
In the end, the agents' perseverance and quick thinking pay off, and they are able to thwart the plans of the Robber Baron and his associates. The missing microfilm is recovered, and Waverly and his team are able to piece together the clues it contains to identify the true mastermind behind the new weapon.
