Billionaire inventor Tycho Reeves takes his new creation, the hypercar, out for its inaugural run, accompanied by two competition winners, Keiko Murakami and her grandpa Toshi. However, instead of slowing down as it approaches London Control, the hypercar speeds up, rushing past its stop and continuing along the enclosing hypertunnel. Tycho contacts <I>International Rescue</I> for help; as Tycho’s “Number One Fan” Brains is only too happy to assist, and sets about working out what has gone wrong while Scott heads off in <I>Thunderbird 1</I> with a newly-created Mini-MAX. Closing in on the hypercar as it approaches Japan, Scott matches speed and prepares to mount a rescue; but he is warned off by Tycho, who explains that any breach in the vacuum-sealed hypertube will cause the speeding car to break up. Flying <I>Thunderbird 1</I> to London Control, Scott collects Tycho’s special toolkit and then takes a second hypercar in pursuit; by hitting every control Scott manages to go fast enough to catch up to the other car, and jumps across to join Tycho and his passengers. When Tycho suspects a manufacturing error in the hypercar’s plasma plug assembly, Scott and Mini-MAX venture underneath the carriage to swap out the damaged parts. But then Brains spots the real problem: one of Tycho’s formulae has a small error – meaning there is no way to stop the runaway hypercar…
