Forgiving a couple of practical issues, this is a great episode.
Jim Phelps stops in a small town for a drink and witnesses an accident that the townspeople suspect might give a clue to their real status -- a Russian cell cluster with the goal to assassinate selected targets.
Luckily for the USA, it's an IMF mission leader who stumbles upon this, and not just some random traveler! ;-)
When Roland goes searching for the missing Phelps and is told he has had a stroke, he discovers the truth and calls in the cavalry. Somehow, they are all able to get set up and get there in a matter of a few short hours, comfortably in time to save Jim and foil the plot.
The unsuspecting spies are no contest for the slick IMF group.
So while the coincidence and time scale may be unbelievable, this is a very fine, tense episode. Just sit back and enjoy it for what it is, and don't think up too many questions! LOL
