Contrary to some other reviewers, I really enjoyed this episode. Yes, the bad guys are stupid and easily fooled, but Alf Kjellin does a great job as the megalomaniac villain Stefan Prohosh (interestingly, Kjellin also directed several episodes). Prohosh, who used to be head of security in an Eastern European country, has been demoted to the culture department in charge of the State Museum, apparently because of his power ambitions. Prohosh plans to regain power by selling a super alloy, cleverly hidden in a massive sculpture shipped to his museum. He is so paranoid that whenever someone comes into his office, he pulls out his gun and stands to the side of the door before he lets them in.
Anyway, the team's mission is to stop Prohosh and get the special alloy. To do this, they fake an assassination attempt on him and set him up for a downfall when the Chairman visits. Meanwhile, Barney and Willy must partially dismantle and reassemble the metal sculpture using torches while guards regularly make their rounds. The highlight is when Willy, like Atlas, must hold the two ton (may be a slight exaggeration on my part) sculpture together with his bare hands while guards talk only a few feet away. You feel agonizing sympathy for Willy, yet, when the guards finally leave, he shrugs as if it's no big deal - "I'm fine".
