A Ministry agent is shot as he approaches the 13th hole, slain
by a leading member of the club and his caddy.
The Avengers investigate his flat - Mrs Peel encountering the
caddy ransacking the apartment as she arrives. they discover
that he'd recently taken up golf, but none of his scorecards
go past the 12th hole. they identify the club by their
custom-made balls.
Arriving at the club, the club secretary tells them it's
members only, as there's a tournament on, and seems
disconcerted to discover they joined up yesterday.
Hoping to make a foursome with the two leading suspects, they
are brusquely told to stand aside as they tee-off, but when
they get to the 13th hole Reed and Dr Adams have vanished.
Fearing that Dr Adams has been abducted, they're surprised to
find him in the club house.
Reed tries to bribe the club pro into having him play with
Adams in the tournament, but is dismayed to find he's playing
Steed instead. Meanwhile, Mrs Peel encounters the pro,
Collins, at the 13th hole and discovers he too is trying to
discover what's going on on the links. He's killed by an
errant golf ball, launched by the caddy, Jackson, from a
special gun.
Steed and Mrs Peel conspire to make sure Steed wins his match
with Reed, thus foiling Reed's plans to play alongside Dr
Adams in the afternoon - a Russian satellite is at the heart
of the matter, and it orbits over England at 12pm and 5pm
every day. Dr Adams has been broadcasting his technical
knowledge to the other side from a bunker under the 13th hole
every day, but the Avengers have got in the way.
Steed escapes a nasty death and enters the bunkers, rescuing
Mrs Peel and destroying the communications equipment.
The Avengers leave in a golf cart.
