Jim and Rollin can only look on as a pigeon lands on the window and sets off the alarm. Cinnamon tosses the camera to her teammates who knock out a guard and make their escape, but she’s captured...

Episode Notes
This episode breaks the show format by having Cinnamon captured in the opening minutes of the episode (with no opening tape, dossier, or briefing scenes): something that Bruce Geller initially disagreed with. He later cited the episode as one of his favorites.
