The novel starts with Delancey accepting the temporary command of a small cutter. Delancey is from the Island of Guernsey, and is fluent in French. His knowledge of French will make it easier for him to land Royalist agents who are part of a plan to prepare for an invasion to restore the French monarchy. This secret mission appears to have been a failure. And it leaves Delancey on the beach, living on his half-pay. So he leaps at a chance to accept the temporary command of a small customs vessel.

The English title refers to a later episode in the book involving an attempt to make a deal with the Devil.
