When professor Borender, inventor of a new rocket fuel made from sea
water, disappears while riding on the Anderbad express, Sir Jeremy and
Lady Penelope from International rescue investigate. But soon enough the
hunters become the hunted, as evil Doctor Godber has laid numerous traps
for those on his tracks, from poisoned pernod to a gas chamber, until he
is able to snatch Penelope and Jeremy from the Anderbad Express as well,
in the same tunnle he captured the professor, and ultimately, he wants to
use Penelope to make Prof Borender give up his secrets, tieing her to a
ladder to be lowered in the Express' route. Now the Tracy boys in their
Thunderbirds come to the rescue, searching the tunnle as a whole, freeing
Penelope, Jeremy and the Professor in a big shootout and finally bringing
evil Doc Godber to justice ... Cool miniatures and effects and
a story derived from the serials of old can't completely obscure the fact
that a) the puppets just cannot act, and b) the attempts to turn Sir
Jeremy and Lady Penelope in their exaggerated Britishness into sort-of
poor man's Avengers are rather ridiculous - for all the
wrong reasons.
