action
The focus of the plot is the newly married couple Pete and Sandra Bittner. Sandra suddenly begins to speak incomprehensible sentences with a monotonous voice in a trance . It turns out that she is in telepathic contact with a culture that, as she says, originated in Agarthi. It is said to be a mysterious, underground land in the Himalayas . After this contact was made, a Professor Bond from the (fictional) US secret service ATIC suddenly appears to find out more about the phenomenon. The Soviet secret service also shows interest and sends agent Leontev. In later episodes, an enigmatic prince Taitanuk appears who claims to be in contact with Agarthi and to act on his behalf. In the course of the series, the actors trace the phenomenon and try to clarify who is behind the contact and whether Agarthi actually exists. Numerous risky and sometimes confused adventures have to be overcome.
