Jason Love has a soft spot for outlandish autoßuobes, but he could also imagine something more pleasant, and that's the only thing he lacks on this island. Finally he sees a girl in an op-art dress from the beach, trying in vain to get the engine of her speedboat going again. That is the beginning of a series of entanglements in which Love's knowledge of judo comes in handy, although after all there is nothing else to do but to use the golden needle with which a physician specialized in acupuncture like Love can decide about life and death.
