Over Fifty? Steal!****
Original air date: 11/25/70
A classic episode, starring Hume Cronyn as elderly master of disguise and former insurance investigator Lewis Avery Filer, who engages in an amusing cat-and-mouse game with McGarrett and the Five-O crew. The script is witty as is the music score by Morton Stevens (featuring a harpsichord). There are a couple of goofs, though. When Filer locks the employees of Kam's Jewelery (the owner is played by Galen Kam) in the back room, does it make sense the door locks from the outside? The recording Filer leaves them to listen to starts out with a long pause, but then it turns into an endless loop tape. The Governor visits the Five-O office to view a video tape of Filer robbing a bank (which provides considerable amusement). At one point McGarrett is seen putting Visine-like drops in his eyes. A good quote from Filer to McGarrett: "You're too smart to be a cop." Parker Brothers, creator of Monopoly (Filer leaves Monopoly money everywhere), gets a credit in the end titles.

Eine Serie von berfllen auf Antiquittengeschfte beschftigt die Polizei. Die berfallenen Lden gehren alle zu einer Firma. Das Tterbild, das die Computeranalyse entwirft, deutet auf Lewis Filer, einen ehemaligen Mitarbeiter, hin. McGarrett vermutet, dass sich Filer, der mit 50 Jahren entlassen wurde, auf diese Weise rchen will. Er vertritt diese Hypothese auf einer Pressekonferenz, auf der berraschenderweise auch Filer anwesend ist. Eine Verleumdungsklage droht.
