Joan Mather is a young biochemist who works at a Biological Research Centre where experiments are being done to create new types of bacteria for germ warfare. When Joan announces her intention of leaving, her boss becomes alarmed as Joan has a photographic memory and could be a threat to security.

Callan is assigned to Joan's case, and Meres befriends her best friend Sonia Prescott. Callan discovers that Joan's boyfriend is an East German agent called Karl Donner who has been using the girl who had innocently thought that he was a biochemist like herself who had intended to marry her. Donner has sent a friend, Horst, to fetch Joan. Horst is captured and is brainwashed by Dr. Snell who destroys his mind.

Karl Donner follows Horst when he doesn't hear from him, with tragic consequences.

Episode Quotes

Callan: (to Lonely) Does she read books?
Lonely: Yeah - some of them's nasty and all - I don't think she's very nice, Mr. Callan.
Callan: (reading) James Joyce, D.H. Lawrence, Dostoevsky - (ironically) No, no, she's not very nice - she's what you might call an intellectual.
Lonely: (leering) She'd do better like her mate in a transparent whatsit with bows on.

Callan: Do you want me to tackle Horst when he comes?
Hunter: (smoothly) No, Meres will do that - you're the loveable agent Callan - Meres is the nasty one.
