Mission: Impossible (1966)
S01E28 The Psychic
Episode Overview
Investment promoter Alex Lowell seizes control of a manufacturer producing NATO's top-secret defense equipment and flees to South America to sell it to hostile forces. The IMF's mission is to retrieve stock documents valued at $80 million. Cinnamon poses as a psychic, gaining Lowell’s trust by showcasing her accurate predictions, aided by the IMF. She "forecasts" that Rollin, disguised as a gangster, will try to cheat at cards and ultimately fail. When Lowell discovers the rigged cards planted by the IMF, he proceeds with the game, successfully cheating Rollin. However, as Rollin is thrown out, he cleverly swaps the stock documents with fakes using an automated feeder arm, leaving Lowell with an unendorsed check for $80 million.
