Thunderbirds (TV series)/Recap/S1/E18 Cry Wolf

Two boys in the Australian Outback are playing their favourite game - International Rescue! And look at this - their dad just bought them a pair of real-live radios!

Unfortunately, Thunderbird 5 tracks all radio transmissions, and the kids' game is sufficiently convincing to send the Thunderbirds haring to their rescue. The boys are given a tour of the island and warned not to use their radios again. This gives the dastardly Hood an idea - he lures the boys into a cave, which he blows shut behind them. The Hood's plan is to use the boys' absence to allow him to access their father's secret documents.

Alas, when the boys call for assistance, their distress call is dismissed by International Rescue. Will International Rescue recognise their mistake in time?


 * Moral Event Horizon: The Hood crosses it in this episode when he attempts to entomb the Williams boys in the mine, even though he could have just hypnotised them instead.
