Victor Jean, Comte de Montaiglon is travelling through the woods of Scotland, having just come in from France, and hoping to keep a low profile.

Fleeing for safety, he comes upon Doom Castle, home of Baron Doom and he recounts his experience to the baron. And when he describes the man he injured, the Baron gasps in horror, for he recognizes that he is Black Andy of Arroquhar, the band's leader portending grave danger to the castle's inhabitants... |
