The Erdmann gang, a group of notorious criminals, have developed a new and ingenious method of getting civilians to do their dirty work - they strap timed explosives onto their wrists and plant the key where they want the explosives taking. Their first victim barely survives - thanks only to International Rescue's new fireproof rescue elevator - but the records of the Erdmann gang do not.

Furious at this development, the security forces send one of their top agents to infiltrate the gang, armed only with a radio-transmitter pen. While this agent is able to infiltrate the gang's effort to break into a plutonium store, his is captured by one of the guard robots and left to die. It's up to International Rescue to reach the explosives before a nuclear holocaust engulfs Scotland!

Elevator Failure: Caused by a honking great explosion.
Explosive Leash: The favoured tactic of the bad guys in this episode.
Relocating the Explosion: Scott tries this at the climax of the episode.
Tin Can Robot: The storehouse's guardbots. Leads to a little Zeerust
