Harry, a young student, adventurer, and daredevil, forcefully gains entry to the office of the editor-in-chief of the *Kontinental-Kurier*, the local newspaper. He is determined to write a story about the criminal underworld—specifically the so-called "Apaches"—by spending six weeks mingling with these gangs.
