A false alarm triggers all but one of the nation's nuclear attack early warning systems. Steed and Cathy go undercover to investigate and are invited to a fancy dress party on a train. One of the party guests turns out to be a killer.[3] The plot was reused in a later episode, The Superlative Seven.
