All the birds in a remote corner of Cornwall are vanishing -
dropping like flies from the skies, or moving away. Last time
this happened, there was a major ecological disaster caused by
a fertiliser gone wrong.
The Avengers investigate, and discover a link between the
inventor's daughter and a Master of Hounds in the affected
area. Unbeknownst to her, he's using a supply of the banned
chemical and plans to hold the country to ransom, destroying
county after county until his demands are me. In with him on
the plot are other local landholders, the meagre returns from
farming no longer enough for them.
After a rollicking cross-country hunt - with Steed and Mrs
Peel as the quarry - the villains are dispatched when hunted
become the hunters, and England can rest easy.
The Avengers depart by hot-air balloon.
