<I>International Rescue</I> comes to the aid of Colonel Casey of the Global Defence Force, whose driver is trapped in a vehicle teetering over the edge of a broken suspension bridge in the middle of a tornado. With Virgil and Alan using <I>Thunderbird 2</I>’s aerial Pods to keep the bridge suspended with quick-dry adhesive foam, Scott jetpacks down from <I>Thunderbird 1</I> to save the driver. Unfortunately things do not go as planned: Scott and the driver narrowly avoid death when the vehicle plummets over the edge, and the massive bridge still falls apart. In the aftermath Colonel Casey finds herself relieved by Colonel Janus pending an investigation into the fiasco, and <I>International Rescue</I> is grounded under orders to seek GDF permission before taking part in any future missions. As Kayo flies Brains out to the bridge to investigate why his foam inexplicably failed, John detects a distress call from a ship taking on water in the Pacific Ocean; Scott sets off in <I>Thunderbird 1</I>, but Colonel Janus denies him permission to proceed with the rescue, forcing Scott to return to base; luckily for the stricken crew, John is able to direct a fishing trawler to save them instead... Lady Penelope and Parker visit Global Defence Force headquarters to talk to Colonel Janus, but it is clear he has an agenda against <I>International Rescue</I>’s operation; furthermore, when Parker tests the Colonel on his military history, the offficer gets his facts wrong… Having received word that a huge sinkhole has opened under the San Medina construction site, where the world’s tallest city is being built, Scott decides to ignore GDF ruling and rescue the trapped work crew; but as <I>Thunderbird 2</I> approaches the disaster site, Colonel Casey arrives with an aerial escort and orders <I>International Rescue</I> to stand down, or else the GDF will open fire…
