Department S, an offshoot of Interpol, are assigned
only the most bizarre and illogical of cases, those which have baffled
the mainstream police. Led the flamboyant Jason King, a best selling
author who approaches each case as though it were the plot of a novel-in-progress,
Department S went up against a beauty parlor with a nuclear generator
(The Shift That Never Was), ghosts (The Ghost of Mary Burnham),
a man wearing a spacesuit wandering the streets of London (The Man
From X) and the kidnapping of an entire town (The Pied Piper
of Hambledown) among many other off-the-wall adventures.
