The Champions Logo 'The Dark Island'
by Tony Williamson
Champions Cast

A small island in the Pacific: a U.S. submarine team discovers a hidden rocket silo, but are attacked by oriental soldiers before they can report back to their command. When a U.S. aircraft is then shot down in the same area, Tremayne sends the Champions in to investigate. Richard drops in by parachute, while Craig and Sharron arrive by boat, posing as the husband and wife survivors of a shipwreck. Craig and Sharron are taken prisoner by the island’s owner, Max Kellor and his two Chinese associates. Meanwhile, Richard discovers a missile installation, slave labourers - and a plot to start World War III…
