City gents - luminaries of British industry and bankers - are
dropping dead of sudden heart attacks and someone's making a
lot of money in the process.
The Avengers step in to investigate, Steed playing a young
millionaire and Mrs Peel an inquisitive first-time investor.
They discover that all the men have been using a new paging
device promoted by prominent banker Henry Boardman. After a
dinner at Boardman's house Steed is attacked, and suspicion
increases. Boardman is an unknowing patsy, however, and his
partners - both business and marital - are the real
villains.
A last desperate fight in the bank's cellars leads to the
defeat of the criminals and the Avengers emerge with some of
the spoils, eagerly consumed in the taxi home.
