<I>Thunderbird 5</I> picks up an alert from a remote air traffic control monitor, which shows a high-altitude balloon in trouble over the Alps. <I>International Rescue</I> is unable to contact the pilot to warn him of the danger, but Brains takes a guess that the craft could belong to the bane of their life, television explorer Francois Lemaire. While Scott takes off in <I>Thunderbird 1</I> on a rescue mission, Kayo searches all the television channels for any broadcast from the egocentric Lemaire; finding no sign of him, she decides to take <I>Thunderbird 5</I>investigate. Arriving in the Alps, Scott manages to attach a line to the balloon’s cabin to drag it clear of the valley; but the high velocity wind blasts prove too much, and Scott is forced to cut the cable. After landing <I>Thunderbird 1</I> on a ledge, Scott uses a wingsuit to glide towards the rogue balloon, allowing him to grab the dangling cable and pull himself up to the cabin. Meanwhile, Kayo lands on the Lamaires’ Super-Yacht, where she is surprised to find Francois in a full-body cast, recovering from injuries sustained while roller-skating on deck in a force ten storm. Kayo warns Scott that the balloon could be a trap, but then Scott meets its occupant: Lemaire’s teenage assistant, Brandon Berringer, who is keeping the illusion that his boss is still able and well. Unfortunately, Berringer is too preoccupied with his extreme sport webcasting to worry about the controls he has broken, so Scott has to make an emergency crash landing on the icy mountains…
