The narrative follows the intriguing character of Madame Gilbert, who, having ended her secret wartime activities, embarks on an unusual journey that intertwines her fate with a half-caste heir to an ancient peerage family. This mixture of humor and drama unfolds as she navigates a peculiar social predicament involving British aristocracy and a cannibal lordship from the Torres Straits. At the start of the story, Madame Gilbert, a striking and confident woman, emerges from her war service with a thirst for adventure and a sense of freedom. She encounters Roger Gatepath, a lawyer entangled in a social crisis involving Lord Topsham's unexpected heir—a young man raised in a primitive environment. Gatepath expresses his dilemma about the legal ownership of the title and the implications of this family scandal, as the heir is revealed to be a "cannibal" living on an island. Intrigued by the absurdity of the situation, Madame is motivated to take charge of the developments, setting the stage for a humorous yet poignant exploration of identity, class, and the fluidity of social norms.
