| Synopsis: |
Lawson, an Army Colonet's career is ruined by an idea he has in a
battle simulation, and he is sent for phychiatric care.
Unfortunately, he escapes, and heads for someone of his previous
command, now a mechanic, Len Clarke.
CI5 are called in by the army to locate Lawson before the Eastern
Bloc countries do. Bodie and Doyle track him down - he is with
Clarke and another ex-SAS man called Willis doing "silly
exercises" near a golf course, and is pronounced insane and
harmless by the pair.
Lawson and his gang then rob a small local bank for funds for
their operation, injuring a bank teller in the process. CI5 then
take more of an interest in Lawson, especially when he executes
phase 2 of his plan == he liberates munitions from an army camp,
on the pretext of visiting an old friend.
Cowley then works out what he is after - the real supply of the
ficticious byt deadly nerve gas that his platoon were eliminated
by in the excercises in Germany. Lawson leads a military attack
on the plant that manufactures the gas, and steals two
cannisters, each of which could kill many millions of people.
Clarke is killed during the attiack.
Lawson then sets himself up in Battersea Park with one of the
cannisters, such that if he was killed, it would pull the pin on
a hand-grenade attached to the cannister.
