Just a bit silly even for this show.

Warning: Spoilers
A former minister of Security who was demoted to Culture minister in some Iron Curtain country has a secret alloy hidden in a big sculpture that he plans to use to sell to another Iron Curtain country in order to get back in power.

A ridiculous plot to assassinate him (formulated by the IMF) has Rollin Hand in a room across from a museum with a gun in a fixed position. When he gets the signal from Cinnamon the gun fires and hits nothing but does alert the security personnel to check for the shooter. Rollin does not try to run away but waits for them which is pretty risky as they might shoot first then ask questions.

Anyhoo, a plot is made to have the alloy cut from the sculpture and this is done between guard inspections while Barney and Willy (dressed in nightwear) cut it with a torch! The guards never notice any smell at all. Then they rig the sculpture to blow up partially to make it look like Prohosh is trying to kill the party Chairman. A rather convoluted plot that was a bit hard to watch some of the time...mildly entertaining but not up to the usual standards!
