In the second story about Seymour Sleuth, the detective travels to Borneo to discover who is threatening Dr. Tann's search for the mysterious Black Flower. The illustrations and text form the pages of his casebook, complete with dirt smudges and photos of clues. While the amusing text drops enough hints for readers to guess the culprit's identity, the story's logic falters somewhat at the end.
