After an undercover agent is killed by a poison with a very delayed reaction government men ask Jeff and Jeannie to investigate a secret research laboratory built under a golf course. It is run by Colonel Anger,seemingly a harmless eccentric who is reconstructing a portion of the Amazonian rain-forest in his office but Jeff and Jeannie, joined by shape-shifting Marty discover that the team is also working on a new drug, Niarol. It can delay the effects of pain and illness indefinitely and, in theory, could be used to attain immortality.

Meredith Hortweldine secures the services of Jeff and Jeannie because he suspects his twin brother Jasper is plotting to kill him.
