Wealthy American Daniel Wolff, who has been previously investigated but not charged by the FBI for suspected drug-dealing, is charged with the attempted murder of scientist Edgar Dryden. Dryden is involved in research using satellite technology to track down drug crops. The method of the alleged attempted murder is remarkable - a rifle guided by a TV monitor and operated by remote control miles away from the victim who was working on an offshore base at the time. Wolff was arrested at sea and whether both his yacht and the offshore base are within British territorial waters become key to the case.
