The Joker's Wild, Man, Wild!***1/2
Original air date: 12/17/69 -- Opening Credits -- End Credits
Rich blond bitch Jo Louise Mailer (Beverlee McKinsey), who has a yacht called "Daddy's Girl," and her two boyfriends Craig Howard (Kaz Garas) and Billy (Lani Kai) have an "insane game" drawing cards from a deck. On the back of the cards are various tasks ranging from setting fires to murder which they have to carry out or lose "points". Jo Louise first meets McGarrett while she's snapping pictures of one of their pranks. She addresses him as "Sergeant" to which he replies "'Mister' will do." The Hawaiian Billy is the subject of abuse by Craig who calls him "a blackie." Jo Louise says, "Billy's not black ... he's sort of ... what are you, Billy? Brown." Craig also refers to Billy as "hired help" and "boy," and Jo Louise later tells Billy he's "a born pineapple picker" with no ambition. Later, Craig sings a fragment of a song from the musical "Show Boat" -- "tote that barge" -- as Billy carries a kayak. Jo Louise drives a Corvette (license number 5B-3684) and a Cadillac which has an AAA sticker on its windshield; another non-Ford vehicle driven by Billy is a four-door green Chevrolet with license number E-8568. When she appears at McGarrett's office, Jo Louise is full of sarcasm, and Danno tells her to cut the crap. She coos, "I like that ... it's so hairy-chested!" She tells McGarrett, "My, what big teeth you have," and he says "Save it for your memoirs, honey." McGarrett also refers to her as "Angelface" and "Lucrezia Borgia." Later she teases McGarrett: "Somebody bend the points on little old badge?" Jo Louise uses the alias of Bonnie Parker (as in Bonnie and Clyde), purring to the owner of a camera shop who helps her escape from Kono, "Men like you make a girl feel so safe." Let's face it ... if this show was made today, the bitchy Jo Louise would be played by Heather Locklear! Eddie Firestone gives a good performance as Stumbles, a bum who almost becomes the trio's final victim. There is a scene of gawking tourists with Yankee Chang appearing uncredited as their guide outside the Iolani Palace -- this is lifted from the original broadcast of the pilot episode "Cocoon."
--------------------------------------
McGarrett untersucht eine Reihe merkwrdiger Vorflle: Ein Polizeiwagen wird gestohlen, dann fremdes Eigentum zerstrt, schlielich eine Yacht versenkt. Zeugen beobachten eine Frau, die von den Ereignissen Fotos schiet. Die Fotografin wird als Jo Louise Mailer identifiziert. Doch ihr kann nicht nachgewiesen werden, dass sie mit den Fllen etwas zu tun hat. Tatschlich stiftet sie ihre beiden Freunde zu Mutproben an, die bis zum Mord gehen. Der Gewinn ist sie selbst.
