All of the Avengers except Steed, Cathy and the higher authorities such as Mother, Grandma, Father and One Ten are dead, which is probably actually a good thing, considering most of them became evil. But this good thing won't last for long. The diabolical professor Diabolical Diablo and the criminal doctor Jon Von Pincher have built devices which they like to call "immortality devices" to resurrect anyone who might be able to help them run their organisation- the Society for Chaos, Anarchy and Ransack, or SCARE for short. When Mrs Peel comes back, she goes completely insane, and Steed and Cathy are left with only one option to stop her- bring in another immortal person. They bring Venus back using an immortality device, but unfortunately it has the same effect on her as it has on Mrs Peel. Steed and Cathy must now stop Mrs Peel and Venus, while also looking after their newly born babies, Thomas and Lucy. This is a very difficult task, so Steed, with the help of some very clever associates, makes a serum to give Thomas and Lucy the intelligence of an adult, fully trained spy. Hopefully this doesn't have side effects...
