I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'be wary' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'master all's not right' is the wordplay.
'not right' indicates an anagram.
'master'+'all'='masterall'
'masterall' anagrammed gives 'SMELL A RAT'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
