While packing he is gassed and is taken to a beautiful but deadly prison known only as 'The Village' where people are taken, given a Number to be called by and kept there for the rest of their lives if they don't tell No. 2 (the deputy head of 'The Village') the information they are captured for. Escape is nearly impossible as 'The Village' has amazing but deadly weapons to use if anybody tries to escape. The Agent is given the title of 'No. 6' but he adopts the name of 'The Prisoner'. The series tells of his attempts to resist the plots of each No. 2 (who is replaced with another if an attempt on No. 6 fails) to get his information and against any attempt to disrupt the nearly peaceful running of the 'The Village'. The Village is determined to crack The Prisoner by attempting to get the answer to why he resigned from his job/post.

Over seventeen episodes we witness a war of attrition between the faceless forces behind 'The Village' (a Kafkaesque community somewhere between Butlins and Alcatraz) and its most strong willed inmate, No. 6. who struggles ceaselessly to assert his individuality while plotting to escape from his captors.
