In 'From Venus with Love', Steed (Patrick MacNee) and Emm Peel (Diana Rigg) investigate the British Venusian Society, whose members are being zapped with a ray gun. 'The Fear Merchants' sees the duo called in when rival industrialists attempt to get rid of the opposition by exposing them to their greatest fears. In 'Escape in Time', Steed and Emma examine a time machine which is apparently transporting known criminals into the past. 'The See-Through Man' sees the Avengers attempting to expose an invisible enemy agent, while in 'The Bird Who Knew Too Much', a parrot is used to smuggle top secret information about a secret missile. Finally, 'The Winged Avenger' sees a deranged cartoonist embarking on a killing spree when he adopts the identity of his own comic strip hero.
