SUMMARY

A misunderstanding provokes a vicious war between the Martian Mysterons and the forces of Earth, led by secret organisation Spectrum. The Mysterons can revive the recently dead to use as agents in their war of attrition against Mankind, but Spectrum has its own secret weapon – Captain Scarlet, who has already been duplicated by the Mysterons, but who was still alive at the time. Now able to resist Mysteron control, Scarlet is indestructible and a vital weapon in the fight against the alien menace.
