Number six(Patrick McGoohan) is walking along the beach when he happens to find a body which has a radio with it. After pushing the body out to sea, he resolves to use the radio in his attempts to escape by making contact with home, but an ex-colleague of his who turns up will prove to be no help at all, as "six" is uncovered and put on show trial by the new female number two(played by Mary Morris) during a carnival/masquerade ball, where his steely will is matched against the unmerciful powers-that-be determined to hold him prisoner until they break him, no matter the discomfort. Female dominated episode has a real nightmarish feel about it as number six, despite his strength and survival, is really up against a bleak future there...
