What happens

The Super Girl (ザ・スーパーガール, Za Sūpāgāru; sometimes referred to as Supergirl) television series is a Japanese crime drama. Originally broadcast between April 2, 1979, and March 17, 1980, lasting 51 episodes, the series featured an all-female cast, not unlike the earlier series Playgirl. Supergirl, however, was primarily based upon the American television series Charlie's Angels and the softcore pornography films produced by Nikkatsu. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
