After I watched this episode, I realized exactly how absurd the setup is. An ex-politician has created an old west town for tourists.
That setup allows the IMF team to make a western episode. A great excuse to break out costumes! The actual plot involves the villain tunneling to acquire nuclear fuel rods. Not terribly exciting. The fun part of it comes with Grant making playing cards that can change their face. This was a very fun prospect, which was destroyed by the way it was handled in the script. If the cards changed on the villain, he shouldn't know it was happening. And having an audience for the card game really hurt the use of the technology.
Still, it felt like a pretty fun episode.
