James Broom, a leading economist on his way to a meeting with
a man opposed to his views is stopped by students involved in
Rag Week antics - all dressed as Robin Hood's merry men - he
pays the toll for the road but turning his back is shot by an
arrow from behind.
Steed and Mrs Peel discover a thesis from St Bode's College in
his papers, clearly the work of someone who would have stopped
at nothing to foil Broom's plans for" "Europia". Mrs Peel
joins the faculty of St Bode's as a new lecturer and Steed
accompanies Broom's offsider, Carlyon, who takes up residence
in a caravan near the college.
Investigating the university archives for the author of the
thesis apparently causes the death of the archivist, Grindley,
and the Avengers suspect the brilliant young fascist Duboys,
who rules the university with insolence.
An attack on Carlyon's caravan leaves Steed with a hole in his
bowler, and in the possession of a photo of one of the female
students. Confronting her, she denies knowledge, but her
boyfriend Petit admits to its ownership. Steed coerces him
into helping him, but Duboys discovers them - Petit is killed
that night, while searching the archives for Steed.
All being invited to the Rag Week party - a fancy dress
occasion with a Robin Hood theme - Steed and Emma learn the
ring leader will be dressed as Friar Tuck, but after
dispatching two Friars, it is the third who abducts Carlyon
and is on the point of killing him when a rescue is effected.
Grindley - his death having been faked - is the author of the
fascist dogma, and the man who wanted the "Europia" plan
stopped.
The Avengers depart in a BSA motorcycle and sidecar, Mrs Peel
in control.
