Die schöne Studentin Mira Bai wird ermordet. Alles spricht dafür, dass ihr Verlobter der Täter ist. Zeugen bestätigen einen heftigen Streit zwischen den beiden. Doch der Verdächtigte streitet alles ab. Er kann sich an nichts erinnern, da er während des Streites sehr viel getrunken hatte. Diesmal ist McGarrett auf Kommissar Zufall angewiesen: Ein kleines Mädchen gibt dem Polizisten den entscheidenden Tipp. (Text: Kabel 1)

An Indonesian student is murdered at the Pacific Cultural Institute, an international college whose exteriors look suspiciously like the Byodo-In Temple near Heeia on Oahu. (Perhaps this is modelled on the Polynesian Cultural Center in the north of Oahu?) Number one suspect, thanks to some damning circumstantial evidence, is John Hays (Denny Miller), the woman's boyfriend. Despite the fact that his staff think it's an open and shut case, McGarrett thinks there is something "fishy" going on (a bad pun for those who have seen the episode). Ron Feinberg gives a sympathetic performance as the "developmentally challenged" Benny Apa. Obviously the SPCA had nothing to do with the show, which features a cock fight. While working on the case, Danno is bossy, telling Kono "Don't look at me ... get him [McG] a bucket." At one point, Danno tells McGarrett "Peace and joy, strong brother," and the two make the peace sign at each other. Kono says he has size 13 shoes, "dainty little feet." Daniel Kamekona plays Che Fong. The little boy who dumps sand on Hays' face at the beach is Geoffrey Thorpe, son of location casting director Ted Thorpe. Robert McDonald reports that the haole man who buys the koi fish from Benny is played by Jim Demarest, who replaced Dave Donnelly as Mr. Checkers on the "Checkers and Pogo" show (see #3). Ron Feinberg regards this show as a major stepping stone in his career (see the report of Mahalo Con).
