Communications Repair[]
After all communications are lost with Thunderbird 5, Virgil takes Alan in Thunderbird 2 to the Communications Mast on Mateo Island, to carry out repairs.
Alan was lowered onto the top of the mast, and soon found that some of the junction plates on the leads from dish number seven had become corroded. Within minutes, Alan had restored communications between Thunderbird 5 and Jeff on Tracy Island.
Alan the Marksman[]
Thunderbird 2 arrives at the River House, and Alan and Gordon take up positions to use the tranquillizer guns. After only one fly-past, the alligators are knocked out.
Alan's Bravery is Put to the Test[]
Leaving the safety of TB2 - and against his brothers' orders - Alan takes his Hoverjet, to try and draw the Giant Alligators away. But his plan works too well: he crashes, and is knocked unconscious. The Alligator closes in - but Gordon shoots it with a tranquilizer dart.
Home and Safe[]
Gordon shoots the Alligator in the nick of time, and the boys later return to Tracy Island.
An Early Birthday Present[]
Tin-Tin has also arrived back home (from a shopping trip to the mainland). She's missed all the action, and wants to hear about it. However, she has brought Alan a present for his birthday, which she wants to show him - in the bathroom. It's just what he wanted: a pygmy alligator!
