Visiting the Doctor's house, Sarah-Jane Smith notes an unusual and unpleasant odour, then a sign warning of an experiment with unstable chemicals being conducted within. The Doctor is analysing "a remarkable new petrol additive" which will "improve mileage by some fifty per cent, if the inventor's claims are proved true." | Visiting [[The Doctor's cottage|the Doctor's house]], Sarah-Jane Smith notes an unusual and unpleasant odour, then a sign warning of an experiment with unstable chemicals being conducted within. The Doctor is analysing "a remarkable new petrol additive" which will "improve mileage by some fifty per cent, if the inventor's claims are proved true." | ||
The Doctor and Sarah-Jane test the fuel by taking [[Bessie]] for a drive. The additive's inventor is Sir William Dakins, chemist and physicist, who Sarah-Jane reveals disappeared the day before — kidnapped or possibly "defected to the other side". The Doctor doubts Dakins would "hand over an important chemico-discovery [...] to foreign masters", but, after a phone call with the Brigadier, learns to his annoyance that the authorities believe the scientist has indeed defected and left Britain. | The Doctor and Sarah-Jane test the fuel by taking [[Bessie]] for a drive.
