Someone is killing the great industrialists of England,
someone with extraordinary strength and determination.
The Avengers investigate, and find that every victim has had
his fountain pen smashed. All had been competing for a new
electrical circuit from Harachi Corporation, a Japanese
multinational, and the Avengers set out to investigate the
remaining bidders.
Mrs Peel also investigates a karate dojo for a possible link,
and is surprised to discover one of the industrialists is a
karate champion.
Steed investigates a wheelchair-bound automation fanatic, and
is set up to be the next victim. Suspecting foul play, he
returns to the factory, leaving the deadly pen he was given
with Mrs Peel. She narrowly escapes death by coming to Steed's
aid, but it is he who rescues her when cornered by the robot.
He clips the pen on a more advanced robot and they destroy
each other.
Stuck on a crossword, Steed breaks his pencil, but turns down
Mrs Peel's kind offer of one of Armstrong's pens.
