Plot Summary of Mission Impossible
"Young teen Jill Gilbert doesn't like the Lovely Legs Contest that's being held at her school. She thinks it's a completely sexist plot and is incensed that the competition is being held by the school football team – headed by her own brother. To make matters worse, the newspaper Jill works for came up with the idea. Always one to challenge convention, Jill even tried out for the boy's football team, but it doesn't seem like her statements are having any effect. She decides to stage a different sort of protest by entering the competition herself.

When Jill befriends an obviously disturbed female student and enlists her brother's help to help this girl – who's suffered serious sexual abuse – her desire to put a stop to sexism at her school grows. "
Jennifer Selk, Resident Scholar
