Hammer’s second of three shoddy Dick Barton adventure featuring the popular radio detective.

Dick Barton, Special Agent, finds himself caught up in one of the most exciting and perilous adventures of all his thrilling career. Two English villages have been laid waste in a sudden and baffling manner. Dick Barton investigates, and soon falls foul of a. murderous gang of foreigners bent on destroying city after city until the whole of Great Britain is devastated. A beautiful girl Tina (Jean Lodge), is suspected by Dick of being a member of the gang, and he questions her. He learns that the gang have a terrible weapon in their hands-something more deadly than the atom bomb, something that cannot be seen, only heard, something that spells disaster for a whole nation.

Dick, aided by the faithful Snowey (Bruce Walker), makes contact with as sinister a bunch of desperadoes as he has ever met in his entire career, led by Fouracada (Sebastian Cabot). Escaping from a gas-filled chamber in the nick of time, Dick and Snowy strike back-only to land in prison, from which their old friend Inspector Burke releases them.
Prison, however, seems a haven of luxury compared with the room in which they are trapped later-a locked room crawling with poisonous snakes.

Luck, pluck and unfailing resourcefulness, however, get them out of this and other tight corners, and Dick, Snowey and the dog Flash are soon enjoying themselves in a violent fight with the enemy at the fairground at Blackpool. It is at Blackpool that the thrilling climax comes. The deadly invisible killer apparatus is actually rigged up at the top of the Tower, and Dick, to the accompaniment of the screaming noise from the atomic mechanism, climbs up to it, and in a sensational finish demolishes the gang and all their works.
