On arriving on the surface they see a man materialise inside a transparent box, but when he steps out he immediately dies. Puzzled, they then detect humanoid life-forms on the moon of Entra and set off to investigate, but their ship goes out of control and crashes. Leaving the wreckage, they go to the aid of a man being pursued by a group of women armed with whips, but Maine is vaporised by a force-field and Koenig is captured. He is taken to a huge complex and meets Overseer Elizia, who explains that Entra is a penal colony for exiles; prisoners kept in line with the promise that if they can evade capture by the guards when chosen to take part in a hunt, they can return home to Ellna. Realising that Koenig has seen that Ellna s atmosphere contains a deadly pathogen, Eliziz decides to ensure his silence him by holding him prisoner and telling the Alphans that he died in the crash& <BR><BR> Martin Landau (<B>Commander John Koenig</B>), Barbara Bain (<B>Doctor Helena Russell</B>), Catherine Schell (<B>Maya</B>), Tony Anholt (<B>Tony Verdeschi</B>), John Hug (<B>Bill Fraser</B>), Hildegard Neil (<B>Elizia</B>), Roy Marsden (<B>Crael</B>), Sam Dastor (<B>Doctor Ed Spencer</B>), Alibe Parsons (<B>Alibe</B>), Dora Reisser (<B>Interrogator</B>), Cassandra Harris (<B>Sares / Controller</B>), Angus MacInnes (<B>Jelto</B>), Arthur White (<B>Kinano</B>), Michael Dickinson (<B>Blake Maine</B>) <BR><BR><B>Directed by Tom Clegg <BR>Produced by Fred Freiberger <BR>Series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson</B> <BR><BR><B>TX:</B> <FONT COLOR="#99CCFF" SIZE="2" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, Comic Sans"> <BR>UK (ATV Midlands):<BR> September 1st, 1977 <BR><BR><B>Notes:</B> <BR>*Featuring Commander John Koenig, Doctor Helena Russell, Maya, Tony Verdeschi and Bill Fraser <BR><BR>*Working title:  Devil's Moon <BR><BR><BR> </BODY> </HTML>
