Moran, a ministry agent investigate strange goings-on in a
large city department store is found dead in an alleyway in
the possession of a receipt from the store dated on the Sunday
(no Sunday trading back in the sixties remember).
The Avengers investigate, Mrs Peel gaining employment as a
shopgirl, Steed rambling around as a nosey customer and
efficiency expert. Emma befriends the house detective and
learns that none of the staff know what they're doing, and
management keep having late night meeting during which they
steal food and disarrange in-store displays. Steed befriends
the delicatessen girl and discovers one particular food that
goes missing was the favourite of vanished nuclear scientist
Professor Popple.
Breaking into the store, Steed overhears the management
talking about Mrs Peel, who they've rolled up in a carpet.
Steed overpowers her guard and rescues her and they they then
locate the professor and discover the store owner is building
a bomb, hidden in the store. After a fruitless search they
realise the store is the bomb, and manage to overpower
the goons and stop the detonation mechanism, at the bottom of
a lift shaft, in the nick of time.
