- Jim Phelps is the new leader of the Impossible Missions Force, with no explanation, or even reference made, about the departure of predecessor Dan Briggs. First up for Phelps is a mission involving the drug trade. Cresnik and Walters have cornered the heroin market and sell it at a handsome profit to gangs around the world. Phelps devises an operation which will drive a wedge between the heroin dealers and their customers.—Bill Koenig
- The plant in the plot to derail a huge drug deal is Cinnamon, posing as the widow of the drug dealer's partner, whom Barney and Jim have pretended to kill in an elevator accident. The partner is awoken in a "hospital bed" and has lost his vision for one day. Rollin visits the patient and fools the partner with a voice impression of the drug kingpin. Rollin also plays the new guy in town who wants to take over the trade by force and Jim becomes his timid, pliable chemist, who turns heroin into fake bath salts. The bad guys are fooled long enough for Barney and Willie to engineer a safe-cracking and pin it on the suddenly alive partner. Rollin had visited the partner one last time and gave him instructions to remove the safe from a compartment in the basement under the kingpin's desk. When the drug dealers discover that the heroin is actually bath salts, they demand their money back. The kingpin tries to recover it from the safe but his partner had just removed it. It's frame but who will believe it? Certainly not the disgruntled heroin buyers assembled for the deal that is no longer a deal. The trap door under the safe opens and the buyers shoot the partner. Meanwhile, Rollin slinks out of the room and drives away with the rest of the IM Force. They hear another shot. Why kill a man when his enemies will do it for you?
