by John Lucarotti
[Starring] Ray Barrett, Geoffrey Keen, Philip Latham
Guest star, John Carson

How much is one man worth? When Ted Kihl is trapped in a Malaysian cave, Peter Thornton turns the huge resources of Mogul and his own skill as an oil man on to a rescue operation.

The director and his team spent a whole week underground shooting the film sequences, and the R.A.F. in Singapore and a major airline in London also mobilised their resources to help The Troubleshooters.
As the man in the cave, John Carson gives one of his most memorable performances. Some of it is real, for it was not until filming was completed that he admitted he suffers badly from claustrophobia.
