Plot; Michael goes undercover as a driver for a shady former Colonel who is planning a major heist.
Michael Knight and David Hasselhoff. Where does one end and the other begin? The Hoff may not be one of our great thespians, but he certainly plays the role of Michael Knight with a breezy and likable charm. That %80 or so of his lines are played against what was likely a crotchety key grip who smelled like day old bratwurst (a stand in for actor William Daniels) only makes his performance that much more impressive. No, this isn't Shakespeare, but it does require its own special type of acting ability. You put Laurence Olivier in this role and see how he does.
Michael Knight represents the prototype for what I have dubbed "Cheerful heroics". That is, a hero who goes about their missions with a smile and zeal. A can do, must do, attitude. It's almost a uniquely 80s phenomenon. This episode has more holes in its logic than a piece of Swiss cheese, but you just don't care because it's so much fun.
