The show stars Kate Jackson and Bruce Boxleitner as divorced housewife Amanda King and top-level "Agency" operative Lee Stetson who begin a strange association, and eventual romance, after encountering one another in a train station. Amanda King is a divorced housewife who lives with her mother, Dotty , and her young sons, Philip and Jamie . One morning, Agency operative Lee Stetson , codenamed "Scarecrow," hands her a package while he is being pursued. He instructs her to "give... it to the man in the red hat," but she is unable to complete the assignment, as there are many men in red hats in the train car at the time. Scarecrow later has to track her down to recover the package, inadvertently getting her involved with his case. When Stetson is captured by his pursuers and marked for elimination, Amanda ends up solving the secret behind the package, finding and rescuing Stetson, and even taking down their opponents, thereby getting introduced to the Agency.
