Original air date: 12/30/70
A show with an interesting theme, with Frank Silvera as Frank Kuakua, a Maui cowboy who fears the loss of his land to the crooked real estate agent Lester Cronin (Bill Bigelow). When Cronin gets threatening, Kuakua says "Don't you 'bruddah' me", and pushes him backwards, causing Cronin to hit his head on a tree, killing him (doesn't seem that hard of a push!) Jack Lord finally gets to ride a horse as McGarrett and a posse pursue Frank into the mountains. Their tracker, Charlie, is Beau Van Den Ecker, one of the Five-O stuntmen who directed some episodes in the later seasons (including the wretched #276, "A Bird in Hand..."). One sequence after McGarrett hears Frank shoot his horse and another after the posse finds the horse are exactly the same. When McGarrett tries to talk Frank into surrendering, he says "I feel ashamed of what's being done here in the name of progress." I don't understand how Frank can go to Oahu to visit his daughter in Honolulu, since he seems to be very short of money. When she phones him in Maui from Honolulu, she only dials seven numbers. Lots of helicopter action in this show. In one scene, the helicopter parks dangerously on a hill at an angle and Danno leaps out. Frank Silvera, by the way, was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and spent much of his film career playing Mexicans plus the occasional "South Seas" role like in Mutiny on the Bounty (1962). This episode of Five-O was his last performance -- he died shortly after.

Bei einer heftigen Auseinandersetzung strzt Cronin - und verletzt sich tdlich an einem Baumstumpf. Um sich keinen Verdchtigungen auszusetzen, setzt Kuakua Cronin in dessen Wagen und lsst ihn ber die Klippen strzen. Inzwischen aber ist bei "Hawaii 5 - 0" ein Haftbefehl fr den betrgerischen Grundstcksmakler eingegangen.
