Ten Thousand Diamonds and a Heart***
Original air date: 1/6/71

    Near the beginning, electronics genius Sheldon Orwell (Tim O'Connor), who's been busted out of police custody, has the chain connecting his handcuffs separated by use of a heavy duty cutter. But a few seconds later he gets out of the car with no handcuffs. If he had a key, why didn't he just use that in the first place? When a cigar ash is found at the scene, Chin Ho tracks down purchasers of that brand, including a woman. McGarrett quips, "Either she's got a boyfriend or women's liberation is working overtime." McGarrett and the cops are really on top of the crooks following the robbery of the diamond exchange. But why doesn't anyone notice the number of ambulance attendants coming out of the elevator is double the amount that went in? The ambulance is from the Clark Ambulance company -- one of the shots of it fleeing the robbery looks like it comes from #13, King of the Hill. There's the use of a portable-like video tape machine in this episode. Michael Morgan, who plays Exchange Room Guard, appeared in the previous episode as Maui Police Chief Ben Kubota. Paul Stewart, whose career began in the 40's with films like Citizen Kane, gives a great performance as the "dinosaur" from the age of Capone, Willard Lennox.
