"Inferno" is the 28th episode of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, a British 1960s Supermarionation television series co-created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. Written by Tony Barwick and Shane Rimmer and directed by Alan Perry, it was first broadcast on 16 April 1968 on ATV Midlands. In this episode, the Mysterons destroy and reconstruct a spacecraft to attack the Najama desalinisation plant in the Andes mountains.
In Earth orbit, the pilot and navigator of the SKR4 recovery vehicle are preparing to rendezvous with a malfunctioning space rocket when their vessel is destroyed by a meteoroid impact. The mission aborted on the pretence of a technical fault, a Mysteron reconstruction of the SKR4 reverses course for Earth. On Cloudbase, Spectrum learns the target of the Mysterons' next threat: the Najama automated desalinisation facility in the foothills of the Andes, which processes seawater for irrigation and land restoration of the South American continent. Colonel White (Donald Gray) dispatches a team, led by Captains Scarlet (Francis Matthews) and Blue (Ed Bishop), to establish surveillance outposts in the Najama Valley. Shortly after the Spectrum group's arrival, Captain Black slips into the ancient Aztec temple where Scarlet and Blue have set up base, concealing a homing device in the mouth of a statue of the Sun God.
