Would YOU risk the future of the free world on a cat?!

The plot for this one is a bit odd and makes little sense. A jade seal was recently bought by a selfish industrialist (Darren McGavin) and he refuses to sell it to anyone. This is a problem because an embattled nation regards it as a national treasure and this American industrialist's purchase he majorly ticked off the folks from this fictional country. So, the IMF Force's job is to sneak in and steal the seal--a rather mundane task compared to the previous episodes. To do so, the team uses an elaborate plan--one that hinges on a cat! Now I like cats and have two (or, rather, they choose to live in my home) and the thought of requiring my cats to DO something I want is a bit ludicrous! Plus, everyone knows cats are, by nature, evil! This and the mundane nature of the plot make this one a less than wonderful show. It is fun to watch and well made in many ways but I don't know why the team didn't just shoot the guy and take the seal!!
