Craig and his girlfriend walk to their car across a large, grassy open field. When they get to the car, the girlfriend discovers that she's lost her wristwatch. Craig uses his super-hearing to find the missing watch.
"A tick of a watch in an open field audible to Craig Stirling, one of the Champions. Craig Stirling, Sharron Macready and Richard Barrett, endowed with the qualities and skills of super humans. Qualities and skills both physical and mental to the peak of human performance. Gifts given to them by an unknown race of people from a lost city in Tibet. Gifts that are a secret to be closely guarded. A secret that enables them to use their powers to their best advantage as the Champions of law, order and justice. Operators of the international agency of Nemesis."
In Jamaica, Craig masquerades as a dead foreign agent and is accepted by the agent's mysterious group. The group are searching the Caribbean for something but the Champions don't know what it is. When Craig is given away as a spy, he is shot while in a plane and dropped into the sea. Richard and Sharron start a search for Craig unsure if he's alive, and at the same time need to solve the mystery of what the enemy group is searching for among the islands.
The plot for this is not one of the best in the series and it is evident in how one feels after watching the episode. Some apects could have been done better, such as the character of Nikko (who was potrayed by a man with what lookes like shoe polish on his face) was not very likeable or interesting. Clive is a stereotyped Caribbean character who, although very likeable and friendly, is too much of the "simple native" that was acceptable in the 1960s by not in the 1990s.
A very funny moment happens when Richard knocks on the apartment door. Sharron is inside reading a book with her back to the door.
Sharron: "Come in Richard, it's not locked."
Richard: "Scusi Senorita?"
(Sharron looks around startled)
Richard: "Watch it! You'll get caught out one day!"
Many good parts, but it is not up to the show's usual high standard.
