For some reason, the intro pulls Goldie's head into a box and makes her watch scenes of herself in the show. Watching someone watching television is not a good idea. I'm sure this type of intro was popular at some poin in the seventies or the eighties. The narrator tells us she's the world's richest girl. See, cause the eighties was all about money. Or whatever. Goldie is confused by her adventures until she watches herself defeat a dinosaur with a fire hose. I guess Jurassic Park was a bust for her too.
Action Jack is her love interest. He's a dare-devil reporter. My opinion of journalists would shoot upward if journalism school was about jumping out of planes. Jack's scenes includes a space bubble dome. Rich people get all the fun!
We see various scenes from their adventures. This includes undersea stuff and flying adventures. You didn't have to tell us that. We could have guessed after we saw a freaken STS fly by. We see the Gold Street Journal, the building where Jack works. If the paper isn't made of gold I call shenanigans. We see a ridiculous airplane with a pool on the roof. No, really, and it has tables with umbrellas and plant life. Part of the reason for this is so Goldie can wear a bathing suit, which must have pleased the 12 year olds who tuned into this show.
Even Goldie's title screen looks expensive. Animation doesn't, though.
Somehow, there aren't enough nerds to give this show a wiki entry, so I had to look elsewhere. Here's an entry that talks about the show's premise. Apparently Goldie owns the Gold Street Journal and she and Action Jack investigates their own stories. I wonder if anyone is like that in real life. "Does Senator Kittenkicker REALLY support Bill 1557? To the pool-ane!" They get to have all kinds of cool gadgets. In cartoon terms, this means magic. The dog's name is Nugget and the editor is Sam Gritt. Who named these people?
Also, they're just friends. Jack, you're the lamest person to have the nickname "Action" ever.

So the cartoon T&A didn't do it for you? I was sure it would turn you on seeing little Goldie throwing around her blossy blonde hair while wearing a skimpy bikini.
I thought you said Jack was Goldie's love interest!
