As this episode opens a flight from Montreal to Ireland is approaching its destination when the crew get a message claiming to be from air traffic control telling them that they are five minutes from arrival, not twenty as they believed, and are too high. They descend and the last thing they see is a headland; they try to pull up but the plane crashes and explodes. Steed and Dr King fly to Ireland to discover why the plane crashed and what happened to the £250,000 that was in the hold. Dr King goes to the local convent, where the bodies were taken, and it soon becomes apparent that there was one survivor; a stewardess who was found later some distance from the plane. There are a couple of other anomalies; the pilot was strangled and the co-pilot is missing. Later the stewardess is also murdered and Steed intends to call in the Garda but the convent's mother superior reminds Steed that he is in Ireland not England and the authorities will not be entering the convent. With a second flight carrying money due soon it is imperative that Steed and Dr King get to the bottom of the case swiftly.
