We find Susanne Dove and Jacob Benedict and one other man "high in the Andes ... trapped on a tiny snow-covered plateau", all suffering from the intense cold. In flashback we learn how they got into that situation. A young woman is upset that her fiancee, Fidel Baptiste, flew suddenly back to his native Guamaria without explanation the day after their engagement party. She hires the Seekers to bring him back in time for the nuptials. Una adds computer expert Peter Squire to the team. They arrive in that South American country at the tail-end of a bloodless coup.
