In the Glamorgan county [[Llanfairfach]], a colliery remains inactive after the post-industrial closure of its mining operations, A miner has visited one of the underground roadways for inspection. He is scared by a green substance which has infected him during his stay beneath the surface and he darts for the lift. Meanwhile, a Range Rover arrives at to a crowd of deposed workers formerly employed at the mining facility. A man steps out and addresses several miners. His company is introducing a new process that will greatly expedite their production of oil after the National Coal Board had to close down the pit because of coal's dwindling industrial promises. The workers cheer vigourously, but are met with the sickened remarks from a band of protesters. One of them is a prolific troublemaker in these parts- [[Professor]] [[Clifford Jones]], who believes the men are being exploited for their manpower. The workers are far from rapport toward his unpleasant words and start jeering at him to shut up. Instead, all voices are unanimously silenced by the sound of a warning whistle bellowing without stop. The miners know this means there is trouble at the pit, rushing off where an emergency awaits. The same mining worker has emerged from the shafts, collapsed dead with his hand wrenched firmly on the valve to blow the whistle. His flesh has been contaminated by a phosphorescent green substance. | In the Glamorgan county [[Llanfairfach]], a colliery remains inactive after the post-industrial closure of its mining operations, A miner has visited one of the underground roadways for inspection.
