Synopsis[]
Explorers Blake and Palmer were kidnapped by an Amazonian tribe while on an expedition two years earlier. They manage to build a radio in secret, but can only manage a brief call for help before they are noticed by their captors and their radio is destroyed. With not much to go on, International Rescue head out to the Amazon with their new pod vehicle the Jungle Buggy. But the Tracys find themselves similarly kidnapped by the tribe, and can only watch on in horror as they prepare to sacrifice Thunderbird 2 by dropping it into a large lava pit...
