International Rescue's London agend Lady Penelope is approached by shady businessman Grafton, who wants to have her invest into his fully automatic monorail, but she immediately has her suspicions about him and calls in International Rescue's head Jeff Tracy to investigate the man, acting as a rich businessman interested in Grafton's monorail. When Grafton gives Tracy a little demonstration of his monorail however, a helicopter crashes in the rail, destroying it, with Grafton, Tracy and company approaching by train in rapid speed - and since the thing is fully automatic, there is no way to stop it from the inside ... but luckily, Tracy has brought International Rescue's resident genius Brains, who figures out a way to stop the train just in time. Then (as in all episodes of Thunderbirds), the Thunderbirds, legendary flying machines of International Rescue, come to the rescue.

Meanwhile, Grafton's driver Milloy tries to rob Lady Penelope's place, acting under his boss's orders, but even though the alarms are switched off, Lady Penelope and her butler Parker are alarmed just in time, chasing the baddies with amchine guns before locking them into her car and letting it drive them in circles for the whole night.

In the end, both Grafton and his driver land in jail.

 

Seeing this episode from a storytelling angle, it's full of plotholes and leaps of reason - but lots of action, effects and great miniature work should make up for at least most of the story's shortcomings.
