- Bodie and Doyle, senior agents of the British intelligence service CI5 (Criminal Intelligence 5), and their handler George Cowley fight terrorism and similar high-level crimes.
- Amnesiac Gerda collapses in a church before giving Cowley a garbled message about an attack on a diplomatic meeting the next day. After the ambulance taking her to hospital is attacked she leads Doyle and Bodie to a Kentish village where she regains her memory, telling them that she is a nanny and that her employers were abducted by gunmen who plan to hi-jack the meeting. CI5 have to locate the family and their captors before the latter disrupt the talks the following day.
- The death bed confession of a former MI6 head reveals that Suzie Carter, key witness in a major corruption trial a couple of decades earlier, did not commit suicide by jumping out of a window as imagined but was pushed - by the police officers who were supposed to protect her. The case is re-opened but the officers themselves are now being targeted by an assassin. Bodie and Doyle, with new young colleague Tony, must find out who is ordering the hits and why.
- Bodie is delighted to re-encounter old flame Marikka Schuman, an East German film star, with whom he spends an idyllic time in his flat. However he is unaware that Marikka's husband and henchman Willis have set him up to take the rap for an assassination, causing him to go on the run from his CI5 colleagues. Although he is eventually cleared there is no happy ending for him with Marikka.
- The Empire Society, a white supremacist group run by a man called Hulton, is terrorising blacks and trying to forcibly evict them. Cowley and Doyle are shocked at Bodie's apparent colour prejudice when he meets a mixed race married couple but after Bodie is hospitalised Doyle goes undercover and joins the Empire Society, learning that a property developer called Miller is using the group to evict black tenants. However, the biggest shock comes when Miller's identity is revealed, though Bodie, grateful to black hospital staff for pulling him through, learns to overcome his prejudice.
- International hitman Rio arrives in London to arrange the assassination of Middle Eastern president Parsali, due to sign a vital peace treaty. Bodie and Doyle are put through rigorous training to act as Parsali's bodyguards, coincidentally crossing paths with the two English lads hired to do the killing and whose aspirations are seen to be similar to their own.
- A masked gang robs a security van and Carter's informant names ex-soldier Tober as its leader. Regan trails the gang to their junk shop hide-out where they plot their next heist for their client, a German political terrorist. The Secret Service has one of their men infiltrating the gang and Regan is told to back off arresting them so as not to blow his cover. Regan, however, is his own boss and goes ahead with the ambush.
- Professor Quatermass comes out of retirement to search for his missing granddaughter and finds a world on the verge of anarchy, and an American-Russian space station destroyed by unknown forces. He is befriended by astronomer Joe Kapp and they witness the obliteration of thousands of Planet People by a beam of light at the stone circle, Ringstone Round.
- Quatermass is rescued by a group of elderly people living in a scrap yard. At the hospital, the doctors are shocked when Isabel levitates off her bed and explodes in a cloud of dust. Elsewhere, the devastated Kapp is left alone in the ruins of his cottage and observatory. More and more young people are joining the Planet People, including the gangs that have been terrorising the cities and the soldiers assigned to keep them away from the Megalithic sites. Contact is restored with Chuck Marshall and with the Russians in the form of Gurov. Quatermass theorises that this is not the first time this has happened; megalithic sites such as prehistoric stone circles are in fact markers where beacons have been left by the alien force for its next visit. Quatermass believes the force is a sphere of energy surrounding the Earth. The Russians and the Americans send a space shuttle, commanded by Marshall, to make contact with the force. Quatermass is sceptical; he believes they are dealing not with an intelligence but with a machine constructed to harvest human protein. The space shuttle is destroyed but not before Marshall reports a giant beam of light stretching in all directions. Meanwhile, the Planet People are gathering at Wembley Stadium in the tens of thousands. Annie and Quatermass travel to the stadium but are powerless to prevent the Planet People from gathering. When they are attacked, Annie drives their car into the underground car park beneath the stadium where she crashes the vehicle and is killed. The lightning strikes the stadium.
