After a few army supply planes have been shot down by an unknown power,
International Rescue starts to investigate, and it's soon found out that
every time an attack occured, a certain band played a certain tune on the
radio, a band that can soon be relocated to a Swiss skiing ressort. So
Internatinal Rescue's female staff member Tin Tin and its London agent
Lady Penelope go hook up witht he band under the guise of bar singers, and
soon they find out that the band's manager sometimes randomly changes
arrangements around just minutes before the actual radio show - as a means
to radio the coordinates of the next attack to his employer. So, just
before the next radio show, Tin Tin persuades the bandleader to change the
arrangement around yet again (without the manager's knowledge), and
wouldn't you know it, this way, a supply plane is saved .... However,
the bad bad manager soon finds out that Tin Tin and Penelope are behind it
all, and when they try to make a getaway via cable railway, he cuts
through the cable. However, that doesn't save him from being overcome from
his own employee, the bandleader, while the girls are of course saved by
the guys from International Rescue in their fabulous flying machines, the
Thunderbirds ... This episode starts out rather great, with
some impressive aerial action, however after the strong start, a rather
silly espionage plot develops that features little in terms of action and
effects and way too much dialogue. And the finale aboard the cable railway
also isn't one of the better Thunderbirds-finales. Rather
forgettable.
