- The Goodies arrive at the village of Penrudden Cove to enjoy a relaxing holiday only to discover the town strangely deserted with the exception of the local vicar. They quickly deduct a local military base is the reason for the problems the town has suffered. Always the heroes the Goodies attempt to infiltrate the base and discover whatever dark secret the army has hidden.—glen_chapman
- The Goodies are planning a holiday to Little Bridlingsea until they discover the place is submerged in 6 feet of water. Changing plans, they discover every place they intend to visit is suffering some ecological disaster. Finally they settle for the tiny Cornish village Penrudden Cove
Arriving at the village they find the place deserted, except for the local vicar who threatens the boys brandishing a shotgun.
The vicar explains the population left after a series of strange events including a section of the beach that goes missing and a local landmark, a statue of the towns founder goes missing.
The boys discover a nearby army base on Penrudden Hill, and they immediately suspect a connection. Graham rigs up a bugging device and eavesdrops on a secret meeting at the base
They discover a series of experiments the army has conducted around the country including the accidental creation of the biggest hole in Britain when a Welsh castle was destroyed
The boys then discover the army is looking to develop a new missile testing range somewhere close to the town.
The bug fails at the moment the plans of how the army is to build the testing site is revealed. The Goodies decide they need to infiltrate the base and enlist the help of the pastor to stage a one man anti war protest at the main gate
Once they gain access to the base they come across a room used for radioactive experiments, amid the files they find the secret plans as well as a number of playboy magazines stashed in the file.
In the file they find the plan for the missile testing area. Graham alters them so the army will no longer build on a local playground.
Later at the vicarage the rest of the Goodies see the result of Graemes alterations. With typical military efficiency they rebuild the childrens playground.
The officers in charge are puzzled by the results; one considers it might be a camouflage for hiding the rockets. They are then advised an expert is coming up from London to explain the operations.
The team is stopped on the way by a young lady who begins to do a strip tease, while they distracted the Goodies take the opportunity to steal their vehicle.
The Goodie, now masquerading as the experts from London demonstrate how the playground will double as test facility.
The Brigadier is pleased with the situation till he is advised the military at the base is to be redeployed to South Africa to fight for the blacks. This is to counter the controversy of the whites being supplied arms
