Spectrum are involved with the safe, quiet transportation of escorting the world's leading astrophysicist, Doctor Congrad, to a conference with the World President at Lake Toma in Switzerland.

After boarding their mysteriously-empty flight, which could possibly be due to it being the "slack" season with planes flying usually 3/4 empty but with no hostesses around, Captains Scarlet and Blue become suspicious, and realise that they are trapped on board the airliner, along with two tagging-along and over-confident news reporters. They soon learn that there aren't any pilots flying the machine, immediately suspecting the Mysterons are controlling it.

But that's not the least of their worries when the plane starts to descend rapidly, and its nose pointing straight in the direction of the French Alps.moreless

    Stupid Scarlet and Blue board a plane with Dr Conrad and it takes a little while for them to realise that there's no actual bodies flying the plane, but instead...the Mysterons!

    Captain Black drugged the crew of Flight 104, which seems bizarre - normally, he'd just shoot people - Easygoing Black?

    The nosy journalists following Scarlet etc. merely put themselves in peril for the sake of a story and are unfunny in their attempts.

    NOTES:

    Captain Blue sings whilst showering.

    Captain Scarlet appears as a blank figure in photographs.moreless

  • TRIVIA (12)

    ADD TRIVIA
    • The Score: Dr. Conrad survives. Spectrum: 18 Mysterons: 4.

    • Mysteron Reconstructions: None.

    • Spectrum Losses: Scarlet is killed but recovers.

    • Collateral Damage: 1 passenger jet, 1 building hit by passenger jet.

    • As Angel One is launched, it makes the usual sound of it leaving the runway, but it doesn't move until the scene cuts to it flying away.

    • In their hotel room, Captain Blue has his regular Spectrum hand gun, but when he shoots the lock on the cabin door he uses a non-descript black gun.

    • Immediately after hitting the building on it's crash landing, the plane could be seen to only have a small portion of it's nose in the hole it made, but after a shot of Captain Scarlet in the cockpit, the plane has suddenly moved forward so that the whole front cockpit section is in the wall.

    • Captain Blue says that he must have hit the landing gear control when he shot through the door. However, when he shot the door, he was pointing gun upwards; there was no way he could have hit the controls from that angle. If anything, he should have shot a hole in the windows and decompressed the cabin.

    • Strangely, Dr. Conrad sleeps fully dressed in his suit and tie.

    • At one point Destiny who, being French, usually speaks with a French accent and who had been up until now, suddenly starts talking with the English accent usually used by Rhapsody.

    • No runway would have a building, especially one made out of common house bricks, at the end of it.

    • Apparently Mysterons can't be photographed, instead showing up as a siloette, but the security cameras at the Culver Atomic Center in "Manhunt" had no problems filming Captain Black and the cameras in the Maximum Security Building in "The Mysterons" also filmed Captain Brown without any trouble.

    • Mysterons: This is the voice of the Mysterons. We know that you can hear us Earthmen. That conference at Lake Toma will be sabotaged. We know what you are trying to do but you will not succeed.
