A diver is found dead in a Scottish loch, six inches taller
than when he was alive, and the Avengers descend on the castle
in a variety of disguises; Mrs Peel as a tourism consultant
and Steed as a Scotch historian.
Suspicion is immediately directed at the protective and
unwelcoming Laird of the Castle, he wants the castle to remain
private and remote while his money-oriented brother wants to
encourage tourists.
Local fishing grounds have become strangely depleted and the
Avengers discover a submarine pen below the castle, with the
minisubs being used to herd fish into holding bays. The
Avengers escape the clutches of the minions but run into Ian,
the Laird and his brother Angus upstairs. Mrs Peel believes
Ian to be the villain but is quickly disabused when Angus
kills him then tries to kill her and Steed - he then dies when
the door in the back of an Iron Maiden jams.
The Avengers drive off, across the loch, in an
amphibious car.
