MRS PEEL
Take that. You yellow-toothed lout... Hallo, Emma Peel here. Doing wonderful things with an umbrella in a simply gory fight-to-the-death with four grim-faced zombies. I was wondering though...just how do you kill someone who's already dead?

STEED
Mmmmmm...quite tasteful this 1945 Chateau Mouton Rothschild! Must say I prefer it to chasing corpses round graveyards in a neo-gothic drama that surpasses even Dr Caligari's nastiest dreams! In fact strictly H-Certificate Steed. And there's a mad vicar, to top it all, planning to H-Bomb the Pentagon! Talk about transplanted brains and jellied hearts...

What is the world coming to when...

Men are raised from the dead

to become loathsome zombies

commanded to trap JOHN STEED and EMMA PEEL in the Highgate Mausoleum

only to end up being stabbed to death by the umbrella-wielding Mrs. PEEL?

What does it all add up to — this unorthodox melange of transplanted brains, jellied hearts and homicidal seductresses? The answer is — a horrifying plot against the Pentagon, which will be H-bombed unless certain diabolical forces are stopped at once!
