Plot

"The Spectrum organisation will be torn apart from within. The traitor among you will create havoc and destroy morale."

Spectrum Hovercraft 6 is inexplicably destroyed at Koala Base, a cadet school in Australia. Captain Scarlet and Captain Blue are assigned to investigate the possibility of sabotage from within Spectrum itself; but it seems the latest Mysteron threat has caused a high level of mistrust and paranoia - and soon Scarlet finds himself being charged with being the traitor...
