When Doc Adams buys a purse adorned with genuine carved ivory for his wife Mary, he unknowingly purchases a ticket into the underworld of modern-day piracy. In this case, the treasure is the precious ivory of endangered elephants and walruses, and the plunderers are part of a ruthless multimillion dollar international poaching operation.
When Mary's sharp eye detects that the ivory on her purse is ill-gotten, U.S. Fish and Wildlife agents deputize her to help carry out a sting operation. But while Mary plays a dangerous secret-agent game, Doc finds himself fingered as the prime suspect in the murder of an illicit ivory dealer, and becomes the prime target of the smugglers' most murderous henchmen . . . .
