Two Ministry agents investigating a Turkish salon are
machine-gunned by a man in black, one of the agents falls
against a window through which we see Big Ben...
The other agent makes it to Steed's flat and dies, warning the
Avengers of an uncertain peril. Steed goes to search the other
man's flat while Mrs Peel organises disposal of the body, but
a postman turns up with a parcel from the other agent and she
follows this lead to a honey purveyor by the name of
Bumble.
Steed meanwhile tangles with the machine-gunner at Reed's
apartment, who escapes and visits the honey shop as Mrs Peel
enters. Steed follows a new lead to Quite Quite Fantastic Ltd.
when a man called Hopkirk rings for Reed, and discovers a nice
line in customised fantasies. Mrs Peel drops Reed's name and
one of the villains follows her murderously to her flat, but
he dies in the attempt on her life.
The surviving killer returns to report to Arkadi, an Eastern
European diplomat who seeks the Prince dead so he can get the
oil concessions off his cousin. Coming to the conclusion that
the plot involves an attempt on the life of an Arab prince
visiting London, Steed ingratiates himself at the embassy by
means of a decent leg spin, but is denied access to the hareem
where he's convinced the assassin lurks.
That evening, he presents Emma dancing the dance of the six
veils (Steed alleges she can't count), and she is handed over
as a new wife for the Prince. She searches the man-sized honey
pots in the hareem, finding one with air holes but no
occupant, and is just about to search for him when the Prince
enters. the assailant shows his arm and Emma pounces,
vanquishing the man who reveals Arkadi as the plotter.
The Avengers leave on a flying carpet - attached to the roof
of a small van.
