While the forger is taken to a safe-house, Steed takes his place and infiltrates the organisation, gaining the trust of the leader, Hooper. But Hooper's second-in-command, the Cardinal, is suspicious of Steed and has him closely watched. Once he has uncovered their plans, Steed feigns a broken arm suffered while loading a truck, enabling him to reach Doctor Keel and inform him of the plot. After Keel returns with Steed a fight breaks out, and the police are then called in to arrest the villains. <BR><BR> Ian Hendry (<B>Doctor David Keel</B>), Patrick Macnee (<B>John Steed</B>), Heron Carvic (<B> 5 </B>), Cynthia Bizeray (<B>Secretary</B>), Michael Robbins (<B>Bloom</B>), George Murcell (<B>Hooper</B>), Vic Wise (<B>Warren</B>), Alex Scott (<B>The Cardinal</B>), Delphi Lawrence (<B>Lisa</B>), Ingrid Hafner (<B>Carol Wilson</B>) <BR><BR><B>Directed by Don Leaver</B> <BR><B>Produced by Leonard White</B> <BR><BR><B>TX:</B> <FONT COLOR="#99CCFF" SIZE="2" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, Comic Sans"> <BR>UK: 21st January, 1961 <BR><BR><B>Notes:</B> <BR>*Featuring Doctor David Keel and John Steed <BR><BR>*This episode was broadcast live <BR><BR>*This episode no longer exists <BR><BR><BR> </BODY> </HTML>
