The Harts visit Hawaii, where they go swimming off a boat and he plays croquet with the best mallet and hoops this viewer's ever seen. Jonathan makes an unbelievable shot, then the murder and the "key" clue surface. Some wonderful "color" in this episode, with Hawaiian dancers and a terrific backdrop of Diamond Head, too-brief flight over Oahu, Byodo-In Temple, and what appears to be the Royal Hawaiian Hotel (featuring pink). A bird they name "Croquet" is taken in for questioning, but for no obvious reason until later on, when she leads the Harts towards the final confrontation in the case, one where American politics separates a fake agent from a genuine one. Heck, this viewer didn't know the answer to the ultimate question!

A key, parrot and Hawaii!!
coltras356 June 2022
Jonathan and Jennifer are in Hawaii for a croquet tournament when a tournament official is stabbed, and the Harts wind up in an international dilemma involving the KGB, MI-6, the CIA, and a fancy key that may unlock deadly secrets.
This is a rather fun, light espionage tale, though don't expect heavy cloak and dagger, just a dying man uttering key, a parrot saying "croquet" and the Harts handing the agents bogus keys - one of them is definitely a bogus agent.
