Doctor Lucien Blake is drawn into the new world of TV when contestants of a successful TV Quiz Show start dying.

Lucien goes to the local TV station when one of his patients is found dead. James Holbrook was a contestant on the quiz show Game of Champions and had just won £1000 by defeating the reigning champion Simon Lo. Holbrook was found dead in a studio dressing room and had seemingly died of a heart attack. A cursory examination in the morgue however reveals that he had in fact been electrocuted. Lo was unhappy at having lost telling hosts Verity and Alan Coleman that the game was fixed and they made him lose. James, Simon, station employee Dawn Prentice and TV repairman Roger Lambert all went to school together and there was bad blood between the dead James and Roger. Blake is befuddled by the case until he realizes he's made an incorrect assumption.—garykmcd

The winning contestant, James Holbrook, on a television quiz show, the Game of Champions, is killed just after the show ends and he finds his prize in a dressing room, touching the new television set. He is killed by electrocution. Simon, with a long run of right answers, is upset that he lost, but all eyes turn to the murdered man. The show is sponsored by Tyneman Electrics store. Patrick Tyneman is upset. James, Simon, Dawn Prentice from the quiz show, and Roger Lambert from Tyneman's store were all in the same class at school, under Professor Waterman. Waterman considers Simon very bright but such a trouble maker. Waterman, James and Roger provoked Simon, but in the end Roger was kicked out of school. The next program has Simon versus Waterman, student versus master. After Simon does a perfect round, the dial is turned to cut off his microphone, but instead he is electrocuted on live television. Blake and his household puzzle over who has murdered the two men, then realize that the murderer made a mistake, wanting to kill Simon, while unaware that the announcer Alan Coleman and Waterman had devised a scheme to end Simon's winning streak. Dawn and James were engaged; the prize money was going to start them off in life. Dawn killed her own fiance, by accident. Blake confronts her in the darkened television station, in s series of questions to be answered true or false. She admits to her failed scheme, while Lawson and Danny listen in the wings. Lawson arrests her for two murders.
