Spoilers ahead

In 2068, the New World Aircraft Corporation in England gives Brains [David Graham] a bold brief to design a revolutionary aircraft. Brains suggests an airship, prompting laughs from the executives, but his proposal is ultimately approved and the corporation unveils Skyship One — a fully automated craft powered by an anti-gravity field. Representing International Rescue for the maiden voyage — a round-the-world trip with computer‑programmed stops — are Alan Tracy [Matt Zimmerman], Tin-Tin Kyrano [Christine Finn], Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward [Sylvia Anderson], and Parker [David Graham]. Brains is forced to remain on Tracy Island after Jeff Tracy orders him to design a sixth Thunderbird machine. Working without a formal specification, Brains comes up with a range of concepts, yet Jeff rejects them all.
