The Ministry are tipped off that the shadowy Colonel Psev is
about to arrive in Britain, his entourage installing itself in
their embassy. The bumbling ambassador, Brodny,
unintentionally spills the beans to Steed then returns to the
embassy to puzzle over how to get inside an upcoming top
military conference.
Imagine Brodny's surprise when he sees a double of Steed at a
fashion catwalk - a sleazy model and actor called Webster. All
the information checks out, so Webster's brought to the
embassy and persuaded, with a large sum of money, to betray
his country. A test run of his imposture, with Mrs Peel as the
acid test, almost works but Mrs Peel is onto it and
incarcerated when she tries to tell the authorities. She has
to endure hearing the sounds of Steed and his minder being
assassinated by the double, who then proceeds to the
conference.
He returns, but insists on only giving the microfilm to Psev
himself, and the entourage reveal that they collectively are
Psev, the name coming from their initials
Pudeshkin-Schverdloff-Elena-Vogel.
Webster skips off with Mrs Peel, revealing himself en route to
be the real Steed, and in fact Webster never existed, it was
Steed all the time.
Psev tumbles to the trick - even before Mrs Peel believes it -
and attack them with model aeroplanes, but Steed turns their
bomber against them with a military radio.
The Avengers depart on horseback after Mrs Peel refutes her
own identity.
