Summary

Pathe synopsis: A stately home; a gaggle of vintage cars; a film unit and two topline stars and you’ve got an unexpected case for "The Avengers". We’ve come to Beaulieu where ABC television is shooting scenes for the new colour series with Diana Rigg and Patrick MacNee in their familiar roles. We see Emma Peel and John Steed driving about in as many of Lord Montague’s ancient horseless carriages as they can film in a day’s hard work. Once they get the know-how it’s easy, except that one old bus manages to get its revenge on "The Avengers".
