SYNOPSIS
Adderly had been a top operative of the department of International Security
and Intelligence (I.S.I.) until he lost the use of his left hand while
being tortured by enemy agents. His superior, Major Clack, in order to
keep him on the payroll, assigned him to work for the department of "Miscellaneous
Affairs", which usually got involved with minor and harmless diplomatic
assignments. V.H.'s
new boss was a petty bureaucrat named Greenspan who had no desire to rock
the boat and was exasperated by Adderly's predilection for making real cases out
of seemingly mundane - and often nonsensical - assignments. Greenspan's secretary, Mona, who had a
bit of a crush on Adderly, was
more than willing to bypass normal channels and procedures to help V.H., despite
the complaints from her boss.
Adderly
was produced in Toronto, Canada.
