Mission: Impossible (1966)
S02E10 Charity
Episode Overview
The Hagars, a husband-and-wife con duo, deceive wealthy individuals into donating to their fake charity, pocketing the money for themselves. The IMF interrupts one of their lavish events at a mansion on the French-Italian border. The couple has stashed their stolen wealth in the form of platinum bricks hidden in a pool table. Jim poses as a gigolo hired by Erik Hagar to distract his wife, Catherine, while Cinnamon pretends to be a wealthy invalid to keep Erik busy. Barney digs into the estate to swap the platinum with inflatable replicas. Rollin, pretending to be a hitman targeting Catherine, gets caught and claims he was hired by Erik. As Catherine grows suspicious, she hires him but attempts to escape the country. Jim feigns loading the platinum into her car's trunk, and they reach the border, only for Erik to follow and seize the car. Unbeknownst to him, Barney and Willy have already melted down the real platinum.
