Nigel Havers and Richard Johnson play treasure-hunting archeologists. What more needs be said?
Well, that they find a statue of inestimable value hidden in the desert. They dismiss their workers, but how do they smuggle it out of the country to the black markets where such things are sold? This isn't the freewheeling 1920s. Borders are guarded and cultural artifacts are greedily protected.
One of the top episodes but once the story elements fall in place it more or less spins its wheels on the way to the genuinely surprising conclusion.
This series of "Tales" was pretty good and this is an excellent example of what it can be and so often isn't.
