The glorious British Empire extends its influence around the globe, and the new discoveries made by Her scientists each day continue to lift the veil of ignorance from the eyes of mankind. However, some phenomena defy explanation, even by the keenest of minds. Her Majesty Queen Victoria has commissioned an arm of Scotland Yard to serve as "special investigators" for these phenomena. This intrepid team, each possessing an extraordinary ability in addition to well-honed skills, travels throughout the empire - the sands of Egypt, the depths of the Congo, the icy wastes of Antarctica - to unravel these mysteries.
