Steed is told by Head of Operations, Charles, that fellow agent Anderson has not returned from his last mission, investigating a series of mysterious deaths of agents on an escape route between Austria and Hungary. Steed's enquiries lead him to a fire-watching tower in Scotland. There he finds Anderson suffering from shock and unable to remember anything of the last six weeks.
