One Born Every Minute*1/2
Original air date: 1/8/74
A mundane episode about two bunco artists, Joe Connors (Ed Flanders) and Cindy Imala (Lynnette Mettey) teaming up with various locals: Big Mardo (James J. Borges), Sunada (Tommy Fujiwara) and Elfidio (Doug Mossman in a rare "bad guy" appearance). Connors uses the aliases Tom Madrid and Gerry Spain. At the beginning, the husband of a couple who witnesses the scam artists' bogus shooting looks very much like Beau Van Den Ecker. A sign on the Ilikai advertises a show called "The Polynesian Man" starring sometime Five-O actor Nephi Hannemann, and Ben grills the barman at the hotel's outdoor watering hole (Joe Geremia, uncredited). Mitch Mitchell plays the hotel manager. Connors and Imala drive a snazzy red convertible with license number 7B-8848. When Danno shows a picture of Imala to potential victim Harry Maguire's (Michael Strong) wife Natalie (Patricia Herman), she says, "My husband doesn't know tramps like that." Danno says, "Did we say she was a tramp?" John Stalker plays the crooks' final victim Alex Anderson. I'm surprised when Maguire leaps from his hotel room to his death, they don't show the usual stock shot. Prior to Maguire's death, the "bonging bell noise" is heard. Kam Fong's son, Dennis Chun, appears briefly as a parking attendant.

Nun setzen McGarrett und seine Mnner von "Hawaii 5 - 0" alles daran, die Ganoven dingfest zu machen.
