Steed and Dr. King are assigned a mission to recover a microfilm containing the stolen plans of a missile early warning system. Shipboard, they meet knives and a drunken film star.[3]
Mission to Montreal is notable for introducing Dr. Martin King (Jon Rolloason), a thinly disguised reworked character of Dr. David Keel. This story marks the first of King's three appearances in the series. The other Keel episodes heldover and rewritten for series 2 are The Sell-Out and Dead on Course.
