Description

76 Tele-snaps for Episode 18 of Thunderbirds, "Cry Wolf"


-SYNOPSIS-

“Two boys, Tony and Bob Williams, unwittingly call out International Rescue on their walkie-talkies while playing in the Australian desert near their home at Charity Springs in the Northern Territory. To explain how their games are dangerous to International Rescue, Scott takes the boys back to Tracy Island for a guided tour, but the story makes the headlines in the local newspapers which worries the boys’ father. Under the guise of a weather station, he runs a satellite tracking station and is engaged in top-security research for the military. The story is picked up by The Hood, who realizes the true nature of the apparently innocent weather station. In disguise, he encourages Tony and Bob to play in the old Charity Springs tin mine at Dunsley Hill and, once the boys are inside, fires a grenade into the entrance, causing a cave-in that traps the boys. Tony and Bob call International Rescue on their walkie-talkies but their rescue plea is assumed to be another game and no action is taken.

The Hood attempts to break into Williams’s control room, but Williams gets a message to Colonel Jameson, who orders him to destroy the top-secret photos from the spy satellite, as it will take three hours to get help out to the remote station. Williams suggests that Jameson call International Rescue, who can get there within thirty-five minutes. The call goes out and Jeff realizes the boys’ call for help was genuine. Scott, Virgil and Alan race to Charity Springs, but the Hood has already burned his way through Williams’ security door with a welding torch. The Hood hypnotizes Williams before he can destroy the photos and then escapes with them in his Jeep.

Thunderbird 2 arrives at the old tin mine and Alan and Virgil lower themselves on ropes into the mine shaft. They rescue Tony and Bob as the mine crumbles around them. Meanwhile, Scott chases the Hood on his hoverjet. The Hood carelessly drives into a ravine and Scott believes that he cannot have survived the crash. But he has, after becoming entangled in branches halfway down the ravine.


Back at the Williams’s house, Scott returns the photos to Williams, and Tony and Bob show him their home-made International Rescue base with table-top launching facilities, but Scott proves too heavy for the boys’ set-up and crashes their soapbox Thunderbird 2 into the chicken coop.”
