About the adaptation: Jim notes that, whereas the novel focuses on Sandy Arbuthnot (master of disguises), aided by Blenkiron, and the local swashbuckling revolutionary leader, Luis de Marzaniga, these characters have minor roles in the radio play which follows events through the eyes of Janet Roylance.
