"The Legacy" is an interesting edition of "Mission: Impossible" because it was one of the first episodes of the series AND one of the last. This is because when the "Mission: Impossible" series was rebooted in 1988, one of the episodes was a remake--and, incidentally, was also called "The Legacy".
In the first season, quite a few "Mission: Impossible" shows did not star the entire cast. In this case, Cinnamon (Barbara Bain) was not in the show. Rollin poses as a neo-Nazi in order to penetrate a movement wanting to create a Fourth Reich. Why? So that the team can learn about a HUGE supply of gold hidden by the Nazis. They've got to get it before these nuts in order to prevent a reign of terror.
This show is a bit unusual because it ends with a prolonged gun battle. Additionally, Briggs is very seriously wounded! Neither tended to happen on the show--although you'd THINK this would happen much more often. Although the episode itself is incredibly far-fetched, it is quite entertaining and well worth your time.
