[first lines]
Person on Tape: [voice on tape] Good afternoon, Mr. Phelps. The party chairman of a small Iron Curtain country recently demoted this man, the infamous Stefan Prohosh, from his post as head of Internal Security and relegated him to the unimportant position of Director of the People's Art Museum. In an attempt to regain power, Prohosh has had a sample of a highly secret alloy stolen from an experimental laboratory in Western Europe. This sample has been cleverly hidden in this massive modern sculpture which arrives at the museum tomorrow. Prohosh hopes to trade this invaluable metal sample to one of the major Red Nations for their support in his bid for power. Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to recover the alloy an stop Prohosh. As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim.
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".
