"Richard Barrett, one of the Champions. Endowed with the senses and qualities and a super human. Endowed with Craig Stirling and Sharron Macready, his companions in a plane crash in Tibet, by the lost civilisation that saved them. Endowed by the mysterious people, special powers and skills. Now they are able to use their powers to their best advantage as the Champions of law, order and justice. Operators of the international agency of Nemesis. "

In the final days of World War II, the Nazi's sent an atomic bomb by air to destroy London, but it never arrived. Now the Nazi (Von Splitz) who was in charge of that highly secret operation is out of prison and looking for the lost atomic bomb. The original German pilot who ditched the bomb in 1945, and was unaware of the bomb being atomic, tells the Champions exactly what he told Von Splitz, but the trio arrives after the German has found - and armed - the bomb, hoping to start World War III. Craig, Sharron and Richard are now faced with a ticking atomic bomb, about to explode.

One of the best plots of the series, and the end product of great imagination is evident here. A very well done script with wonderful characters makes this one of the series best. Apart from the great storyline, some very witty and intelligent dialogue was written in the script by Gerald Kelsy. While the Germans track down the whereabouts of the bomb by asking the German pilots who carried the bomb, Richard and Sharron try a different approach by visiting the British pilot who shot down the atomic bomb-laden plane. Now a publican, he is able to tell Richard where he saw the bomb fall by having his memory jogged by a beer mug. One of my favourite lines from Richard follows.

The man frustratingly says to Richard that he was reprimanded at the time for breaking away from his squadron and engaging with the German bomber. But he just realises that he was responsible for winning the war and all he got was a harsh talking to by his superior officer. Richard replies with a grin, "there's no justice!".

Later on when Craig is being held prisoner, after a good beating by the Germans, Richard arrives on the scene with Sharron and come up to the room where Craig is being held.

Craig: "You weren't worried about me?"
Richard: "No, no! I came up to be polite"

An excellent episode. The ending is great, with the three agents realising that their physical powers aren't any match for an atomic weapon, so they have to use brains to save the day. A good example of their close relationship in the last few scenes.
