Manhunt is the fourth produced, and broadcast, episode of the British television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.

Plot

The hunt is on to apprehend Captain Black, after he unwittingly becomes a radioactive hotspot...

Synopsis

A Mysteron scheme is foiled when, having broken into the Culver Atomic Centre, Captain Black is discovered and forced to beat a hasty retreat. But the danger is not over: on Cloudbase, Colonel White reveals that Black exposed himself to a short-life atomic isotope during his escape...meaning that, for the next 48 hours, the Mysteron agent will be a source of radioactivity...

Using special detector trucks equipped with directional, long-range Geiger Counters, Spectrum closes the net around the fleeing Black - but not before he steals an SPV and takes Symphony Angel as a hostage!
