A prominent and distinguished member of society is found
wounded, having been shot by an accomplice when he tripped an
alarm in a robbery they were committing.
The Avengers arrive to investigate, and hopefully question the
man, who remains in a coma, but before he reveals very much he
is killed by his doctor, who was acting as if hypnotised when
he struck. Sir Clive's diary has been destroyed as well - the
only link between the men is the MENSA-like society
RANSACK.
Mrs Peel is immediately accepted into their ranks because of
her scientific background, and she gets Steed in by faking his
exam papers, then supplying him with the answers for the next
day's test.
At a retreat for the egg heads, Steed wakes in the night to
find the other members trooping like zombies down to the
gymnasium to watch a film, then disappearing into the night,
returning with sand on their boots and in possession of
military hardware.
The Avengers discover that the sports mistress from the school
is brainwashing the genii with the dormitory radio and picking
their highly developed minds for the best way to carry off
audacious crimes.
