The fictional series is set at the beginning of the 19th century on the East Indies island of Palau Palau where a pairing of an American and a British secret agent work to thwart the plans of Napoleon Bonaparte.

It drew on many influences including adventure serials of the 1930’s and swashbuckling pirate movies.
