THE AVENGERS '65, VOL. 1

Details

• Release Year: 1966
• Genre: Action/Adventure
• Plot: Whimsically absurd yet decidedly deadly, The Avengers have been pitted against everything from renegade robots to atomic boutiques. Perhaps the most memorable episode of THE AVANGERS, THE CYBERNAUTS, is the only adventure to be followed with two sequels: RETURN OF THE CYBERNAUTS and THE LAST OF THE CYBERNAUTS?; ; THE TOWN OF NO RETURN; When four special agents disappear in quaint Bazeley-by-the-Sea, The Avengers uncover a conspiracy of masquerading merchants determined to stage a hostile take over... of all Britain. This episode was actually fimed twice - once with Elizabeth Sheperd as Steed's partner. Shepherd was later replaced by Diana Rigg.; ; THE GRAVEDIGGERS; When a fault develops in the nation's radar system, a little digging leads Emma and Steed straight to the graveyard, where they overturn a plot to weaken Britain's defense. Classic 'Perils of Emma': Mrs. Peel is tied - vertically - to a miniature railroad track from which she must be rescued by the dashing John Steed.; ; THE CYBERNAUTS; Cybernetic assassins are the key to a madman's plans to engineer an automated empire - with him at the controls. In this, the first episodes of the THE AVENGERS ever shown on American television, Emma and Steed pit mettle against metal and manufacture an end fo the mechanical mayhem.
