Menaced by 'the strange clicking danger,' Doc Savage and his fabulous five-man army take a desperate journey on a polar submarine in search of a missing ocean liner and a dazzling treasure. Their only clue is a map tattooed on the back of a blind violinist. Awaiting them at their destination is the most terrible killer the Arctic has ever known.
Something terrible impended. This was evident from the furtive manner of the small, flat-chested man who cowered in the shadows. He quaked like a terrified rabbit at each strange sound. Once a cop came along the alleylike side street, slapping big feet heartily on the walk, twiddling his nightstick, and whistling 'Yankee Doodle.' The prowler crawled under a parked car, and lay there until the happy cop passed.
