Alex en sy vriende is hard aan die leer vir hulle SAK-eksamen – want om die Spesiale Agente-Kursus te slaag is nie speletjies nie!

As die Geheime Diens hulp nodig het van die jongelinge vir een van hul geheime sendings of as een van die skorriemorries van daardie verfoeilike organisasie, die Pioniers van Onderduimsheid en Vernietiging (POEV), probeer om die skool oor te neem of een van die onderwysers ontvoer, sal die leerders gereed wees.
