  • The story is set in 1898, some time after the events of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Mina Murray meets with MI5 agent Campion Bond (the grandfather of James Bond) at the White Cliffs of Dover. He offers her a place in the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a British secret service task force whose job it will be to protect the British Empire from potential threats. Accompanied by Captain Nemo, Mina is sent to Cairo, Egypt to find and recruit adventurer Allan Quatermain, who faked his own death and has become an opium addict. A group of Egyptians attempt to rape Mina, but Allan kills two of them and saves her. Nemo fends off the other Egyptians with a harpoon gun, and offers his submarine, the Nautilus, as a temporary base of operations for the league.

They eventually discover the culprit to be Edward Hyde, who viciously attacks the group when they confront him.
