Once again, the Mysterons' cryptic threats make Spectrum believe they are targeting the Angels. But it isn't actually one of the five Angel pilots; it's one of their home cities. Or so Spectrum thinks...

Captain Scarlet and Captain Blue start a frantic race to find the station's research assistant, Judith Chapman, who's suspected of the theft as she was the only person to be granted access to it...

Trivia[]
- Boulder Dam - also known as Hoover Dam - is actually located on the Arizona-Nevada border, further east of California (and Los Angeles). The Colorado River backs up behind it, forming Lake Mead. (What is arguably its best-known cinematic appearance, was in the 1978 feature film Superman.)
- The script for this episode gives the title as "The City Of Angels" and The Mysterons’ threat was originally to destroy the “population of the City of Angels.”
- The two bio-hazard helicopters previously featured in Thunderbirds Are Go as air sea rescue helicopters. In Give Or Take A Million, one delivered the Christmas Rocket to Harman's Department Store.
- This is one of only two episodes in which Colonel White is seen wearing his cap (the other is Flight to Atlantica).
