Testpilot Paul Foster (Michael Billington) rather accidently flies his plane into an area where a UFO is shot down by an interceptor of SHADO, the top secret UFO-fighting organisation. Foster's plane is hit as well and soon crashes, a crash that kills Foster's co-pilot (Matt Zimmerman) but leaves him pretty much unscathed. The problem is that now Foster knows about the existence of UFOs, an information the gouvernment tried to supress for decades just to avoid a mass panic. And now that he has that knowledge, Foster is determined to dig deeper. Everybody seems to try and dissuade him from investigating further, from his boss to a shady psychiatrist (Vladek Sheybal) to two brutes thrashing his apartment. Through all of this, only the dead co-pilots sister Jana (Jean Marsh) sticks to him.

Eventually, Foster finds out about Straker (Ed Bishop), who poses as a film producer, but has a background in the Air Force, and seems to be somehow involved with the UFO-cover-up.

Straker of course really is the head of SHADO, and he would go to any length to keep the company a secret. And he has long been informed about Foster's investigations, too, and how close he has come to the truth. So he agrees to meet Foster, and at first keeps up his charade of being a filmproducer, before he drops his act and threaten's Foster's life ... before dropping that idea and giving Foster a tour of top secret SHADO headquarters.

Why all of this?

Foster's efforts to find out about SHADO were not only monitored but even guided by Straker, and most of those Foster was involved with, from the psychiatrist to Jana even, were SHADO-field operatives.

And why all of this?

Because the whole process was a test to determine whether Foster was fit for a job with SHADO - and Foster passed, too ...

For the most part, this is one of the more interesting episodes of UFO, plotwise, as focuses up on the conspiracy angle of the series and introduces key cast member Michael Billington into the story in quite an exciting manner. Unfortunately, in the finale, the episode drops the ball, as the happy ending seems terribly pulled out of the hat rather than built up by the story leading to it.

Still, a pretty decent effort, and a competent cast and the usual great miniature effects don't hurt one bit, either.
