Another episode without UFO's, or aliens etc, but whereas Court Martial and Confetti Check have interesting themes, this has little to recommend. Quite poor.
Straker in his film mogul role gives an interview to a female journalist The girl Jo Fraser has a hidden recorder in her handbag and deliberately leaves the bag in Straker's office after the interview hoping to record some juicy titbit no doubt. The girl apologetically retrieves her bag from the secretary, but Straker returns to his office, discovers what has happened and finds out that the control room buzzed him in the office while he was out saying " Commander Straker". Jo Fraser has that recorded, and when it transpires she has convictions for blackmail and fraud, panic stations. Straker must track her down, and sets off after leaving Alec Freeman in charge, who is a bit worried about assuming the responsibility seat.
His first problem; a Russian moon vehicle is out of control and on collision course with SHADO moonbase. The two man Russian crew are " drunk" with oxygen starvation and determined to repel attempts to stop them smashing into moonbase.
