Sharron is in a pub, surrounded by big, burly men. She is offered a dart to throw at the board. She takes it an immediately hits bulls-eye perfectly. Realising her gaffe, she says "beginner's luck" and throws another dart which completely misses the board entirely - to the relief of the men watching.
"Sharron Macready, one of the Champions. Endowed with the senses and qualities and a super human. Endowed with Craig Stirling and Richard Barrett, her companions in a plane crash in Tibet, by the lost civilisation that saved them. Endowed with special powers and skills known only to them. 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."

While investigating the murders of three students in the Austrian Alps, the Champions discover stories of hidden Nazi loot. They find a map case which leads them to a mine where a group of German soldiers were buried alive by the S.S. at the end of the war, with enough food to last a lifetime. Richard and Craig are trapped in a mine due to their competitors for the treasure caving in the mine with dynamite. Sharron later becomes trapped in the mine with the surviving soldier from World War 2 who has lost his mind.

Another episode that is let down by an unrealistic storyline. The idea of some men surviving for over 20 years in the mines and then events that followed are too much for the viewer to accept as possible reality. The basic idea might have been good, about the stolen Nazi treasure, but incorpoating the other sub-plots perhaps should have been left out.
In the introduction of the show, there is a funny sequence with Sharron at a pub playing darts. A patronising fat man gives her a dart, thinking she won't even hit the board. Sharron, of course, hits a bullseye, and looks inoccently to the astonished man. She has another throw but purposely misses very wide. The smile on her face indicates her sense of humour by teasing the man with her unpredictable prowess at darts.
Too loose on reality and too far fetched (even for spy adventure!). The acting on the part of the survivors wasn't terribly good either.
