While trying to fing their way to a large oil refinery fire, and losing their way in the attempt, a fire had burnt down the council hall.

The gang are planning to steal the crown jewels during the diversion caused by a fire at the Tower of London and need a fire engine of the same model as that based at the Tower to do this. When the Bishops Wallop engine is stolen by the gang, Captain Viking and his crew find the crooks by using their horse to track the engine down. Arriving at the Tower while the crooks are stealing the jewels, Viking and crew overpower them in a fight.
