Craig is at a Wild West-style fair - "Bar B-Q Dude Ranch". He and one of the Ranch's cowboys test to see who's the fastest draw. They both aim for a wooden target. However, to the cowboy's shock, Craig has unloaded his six-shooter into the target before the cowboy could even fire once.
"Craig Stirling, Sharron Macready and Richard Barrett - the Champions, endowed with 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.
When a high-secruity vault is compromised, the Nemesis agents are asked to test it's security. Richard goes to break in, with the purpose to see if he could take the "F" file. When he is able to break in easily, the Champions wonder if the head of M-7 is a traitor. While investigating, they discover that the M-7 man and the person who first burglarised the vault had the same unorthodox dentist.
We see once again the cleverness and intelligence of Richard in this episode. Even though the agents have what may seem a clear cut assignment, they stop to think about all possiblities and motives behind the M-7 man. Once again they take risks, life threatening chances, to test a theory. When Sharron is concerned about the hidden and deadly devices inside the vault, such as poisonous gas, she nervously asks the guys about these possible problems.
Richard: "I think we have the answer for that."
Sharron: "If you haven't?"
Craig: "Send flowers."
Very good episode, with some suspenseful moments. This is a good example of Richard's coolness under enormous pressure.
