Enemy agent George Grey is believed to be being hidden by the influential Sir Humphrey Burton at his country residence. Father Unwin pays Sir Humphrey a visit, enabling a miniaturised Matthew to discover that Grey is to be smuggled out of the house by helijet - if he affects a successful escape, and must take with him details of anti-missile defences and the locations of all reprisal bases!
No new original soundtrack was recorded for this episode, therefore tracks from other episodes were used for this story. Colonel White returns as a guest puppet one more time as Sir Humphrey Burton, whilst Captain Ochre plays a 1st Guard in the episode. Finally, Saunders from A Case For The BISHOP returns in his second and last episode in the series, meaning the Dr. Fawn puppet is recycled once again.
