NOSTALGIE CRIME BOARD

Is This Any Way to Run a Paradise ***
Original air date: 12/21/71

    Another show with an ecological theme. Five-O has to try and track down who pulled off several stunts attacking sources of pollution (a large industrial chimney, a crop-duster) when it's feared the protestor may next knock off a bigwig from some large corporation. When he sees how the chimney was covered up with a heavy metal lid, Chin Ho says, "A guy like that can go bear-hunting with chopsticks." When McGarrett inquires about rare bird feathers on a native mask left at the protest sites, he leers at the musem ornothologist, Miss Weston (Maura McGiveney): "One of these days I might take up birdwatching." According to a suspect gas station owner, "What the Japs did to this place ain't nothin' to what the Haoles and Chinks are doin' to it since." McGarrett is visited in his office by a hippie freak (Don Lev) who wants to nominate him for "pig of the year." Chin Ho picks up a skinny hippie who is doing a yoga headstand while sitar music plays. Richard Morrison plays the Oriental Lai Han (badly). There are numerous stock sequences: McGarrett runs down the steps of the palace by tourists, McGarrett walks across the Governor's courtyard, various shots of cops driving around. The "violin" theme is heard as the protestor approaches Lai Han's room. There no "featured players" in the end credits, all the names are in the smaller print usually reserved for the "supporting cast."

Weil das einstige Paradies Hawaii durch Umweltverschmutzung vor die Hunde zu gehen droht, beschliet ein verzweifelter Umweltschtzer, zu drastischen Manahmen zu greifen: Er setzt einen Hochofen in Brand und schiet ein Flugzeug ab, das Unkrautvernichtungsmittel versprht. Diese Aktionen tragen ihm sogar einige Sympathie in der ffentlichkeit ein. Doch dann geht er zu weit: Um ein Zeichen zu setzen, ttet er einen Industrieboss. Ein Fall fr McGarrett und "Hawaii 5 - 0".
