A poacher is found dead in a field, drowned by a sudden
downpour.
The locals are nervous, and one is building an Ark, convinced
that the final flood is coming. The Avengers investigate, and
discover extraordinary climactic conditions around a winery
that produces vegetable-based wines - cucumber being their
tour de force.
Steed investigates, disguised as a wine merchant and finds the
chief vinologist doesn't know the difference between wine and
spirits. A meteorology expert is also drowned, along with the
poacher's brother, and Mrs Peel is captured and put in a wine
press by the diabolical mastermind* Dr Sturm.
Steed and Jonah affect a rescue and a tussle in the pouring
rain ends with the villains vanquished and Sturm dead by his
own machine.
