Saul appears to believes in the promise of alchemy, turning lead into gold, seeing his room above the shoe store. Inspector Robinson recognizes the chemical elements and finds the formula written in ink that appears only when heat is applied to the page Phryne and Simon discover. Dr Mac figures out what the formula is meant to do: make artificial rubber, which would be worth more than gold. Saul’s favorite poem was Raisins and Almonds; Phryne and Inspector Robinson find aconite, fatal poison, in the binding of the book with the poem; aconite is made from the root of a beautiful flower. Saul absorbed the fatal poison from a paper cut. Yossi Stein lies dead at Saul's lab table; he is another in the group of Zionists. Ben Abrahams, the shoemaker, has a son Simon, who is kidnapped. Ben's brother Chaim (owner of the building with the bookstore and uncle of Simon) wants the formula that Saul worked out and the profits it would yield -- it was Chaim's idea to make synthetic rubber. He kidnapped his own nephew, hating the passion for Zionism. Uncle Chaim killed Saul Michaels, killed Yossi, and had a try at killing Phryne when both sought the book Saul Michaels read in the bookstore. Simon and Saul wanted the profits for the new state of Zion, yet a dream. Jack Robinson has to write to Saul’s wife.

Her identity is unknown, until her clothes lead to the seamstress who made them, working at a local club where immigrant Russians meet. The air force officer flew with Phryne during the war, and saved her life once, which creates tensions with Jack Robinson. The rumours at the base were that one now-missing officer was having a homosexual affair with another officer. After Hugh suggests a disused sentry box on the base as the door which might be unlocked by the key found with the woman's body, he and Robinson find military clothes discarded there, leading to the notion that the dead woman had worn that uniform. The base realises the breach, creating a tense scene between the police and the base officers, called off by air force. Hugh and Jack Robinson then proceed to Dr Mac for a second look at the body, and realise she had been using make-up on her face to look more like a man, so she could fly planes, her main goal in life. She was murdered by one of the air force staff, a man who could not bear the rumours of a homosexual romance, giving him the motive to kill her slowly with the poison in her cigarettes. He is arrested. Meanwhile, the dressmaker is a Russian woman without legal papers, her family lost in the revolution in Russia.

The polonium was used by Logan, as his wife was killed from the job of painting dials on watches so they glow, bad science by Quentin, so he too is arrested. Henry's wife has told him she will file for a formal separation if he does not return with their own funds. Henry's ship has sailed, literally, the ship to England. Phryne decides to fly her father home in her small plane, as the only sure way to get him there. Dot decides to have the wedding that evening, so Phryne can be there. She wears a stylish white gown with a long train; as she prepares at home, Hugh is with Father O'Leary, calming him by getting him to understand that science is part of God's plan. They marry in the Catholic church, very happy, with the bells ringing as they leave. The next morning, Henry winds the propeller on the plane and climbs in. Jack Robinson arrives at the runway; Phryne asks him to pursue her, two times. He is smiling as father and daughter fly away.
