This episode is part of several episodes set in Hawaii during the last season of Charlie's Angels. This plot involves Julie and a college-aged acquaintance accidentally discovering a sunken boat with a cache of cannabis/marijuana. The acquaintance, Bianca, is played by Patti D'Arbanville, who at the time was one of the teen characters on "The Greatest American Hero" and 14 years later would play the police Lieutenant on New York Undercover. Upon initially discovering this, the pair run into a pair of bumbling schemers (one of whom is Sonny Bono). The schemers want to retrieve the huge box of cannabis to sell it to a mysterious female contact who flew in from the mainland.
Antonio Fargas is also in this, as a henchman of the gangster who initially lost the crate of cannabis. He is kind of wasted in this role-- Starsky & Hutch had recently been canceled, and this series was also produced by Aaron Spelling and also on ABC, so that was presumably the connection. It would have been so good for the Huggy character to be brought into Charlie's Angels. He could have simply moved from "coast city" to the Malibu area where the Angels operated. He could have been a street connection for information.
Seeing Kelly purse-whip an antagonist is odd, considering that the Angels are all supposed to know basic martial arts (except Julie, presumably).
The Angels have to deal with con-woman Bianca and the two sets of gangster-types who want to seize the cannabis.
The setting of Hawaii is great, and all the Angels (and Bianca) look great in their outfits.
A veteran, known actress is also here, playing a mob-adjacent drug distributor.
