What if a song could wipe your mind clean—and the government owned the remote?
When British Intelligence, following a series of experiments designed to increase alertness of long-distance lorry drivers through use of tonal repetition, discovers chordation that completely erases all memory, it is obvious that such a cleansed mind may be programmed to perform any type of action. Erstwhile agent Peter Clarke inactive for years, is chosen as courier to transport an audio tape of the tones to his native Australia.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This obscure TV movie emerged during Australia's 70s genre boom, when local networks funded cheap thrillers to fill quotas. It's essentially Ozploitation's awkward government-propaganda cousin.
Director Kevin James Dobson later directed episodes of Prisoner: Cell Block H and The Sullivans—this film's janky energy makes more sense knowing his soap opera roots.
