Jeff Ryder is contacted by a distraught Sue Pearson who has been excluded from her law studies on the grounds that her scientist father has become 'radioactive' following an experiment. The local community are up in arms, dreading that they too will be affected, although in fact the dose he received was far too small to be harmful. They descend on the house mob-handed, headed by estimable American born character actress Tucker McGuire and including a young Ollie Reed and Steven Berkoff. It is up to Jeff to attempt to pacify them and persuade them their concerns are based on 'fear and ignorance'. A rather obvious fable given that the producer and at least one of the writers were exiles from the blacklist, but one not entirely lacking in relevance today.
