The local British Army Intelligence types grab him up for a talk. It seems that the rare Koran is part of a power-play between the west and the Soviet Bloc. The west wishes to return the book to the Middle East for the good will it would generate. The Reds of course have the same idea.
Cameron decides to look into the matter and see what he can turn up. Needless to say everywhere he goes trouble follows. Soon there is a string of bodies littering various dives and apartments. The British Intelligence types are all for booting Cameron off the island. Cameron however discovers who is behind the mess and hands the man over to the British.
Not one of the better episodes.
