After the testing of a vaccine goes horribly wrong, Steed and Doctor Keel investigate, and discover that Heneger, one of the scientists involved, is attempting to sabotage the project. But while interrogating the suspect, they learn that another scientist called Doctor Craxton is really behind the plan. Craxton locks Steed in a room booby-trapped with a vial of lethal virus. Keel believes that Steed is infected, but then learns that Truscott, the project director, replaced the vials of virus with vials of water by as a security precaution. The security guards arrest Craxton.
