Synopsis

Boris Kartovski, an enemy agent has ben eliminated by Steed years ago but his brains are still working. By the help of an ingenious machine his mind will be transplantated into the body of some Harry Mercer and then he will get his own mind as well as the mind of Kartovski. Mercer will have a split personality now. When Harry Mercer has murdered Frank Crompton no one is suspecting him. Mercer is continuing conflicting with Kartovski who is sharing his body. He will be detected when his handwriting changes into Boris' handwriting. Boris is broken-winged at one arm so is mercer sometimes. Besides the Forget-me-knot this is the only Tara King episode with a different intro-film.
