The story opens with Jack returning to Las Vegas after a three month tour of South America. Upon his return, he finds a curious "Dear John" note from his wife and a large reddish brown stain on the bathroom floor.

As Jack delves deeper into the mystery, he unravels a deliciously fabulous plot to overthrow the world!
