Following the crash of the <I>Fireflash 3</I> airliner, another aircraft is launched as a test, and set to follow the same flight plan. But this <I>Fireflash</I> begins to experience similar difficulties, and it too plummets into the Atlantic Ocean. As <I>International Rescue</I> sets out to rescue the trapped crew, Alan realises that the <I>Fireflash</I> has flown one-hundred-and-eighty miles off-course, suggesting that sabotage is the cause. After Gordon rescues the trapped crew using <I>Thunderbird 4</I>, Scott joins Captain Harris on a third <I>Fireflash</I> flight, with <I>Thunderbird 2</I> following alongside them. The cause of the trouble is located when Gordon finds a saboteur hiding inside the wing, but the criminal jumps from the plane and parachutes to safety as the <I>Fireflash</I> hurtles into a crash-dive - can Gordon repair the damage, or will this airliner meet the same fate as the others?
