*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

A Senate investigation into union corruption centers on a former mobster now legit, as McGarrett can testify. The committee's legal counsel has himself shot at, crucifies the man in the headlines and thereby brings out old mob rivals to do him in.

The counsel has a private detective try to record McGarrett making a shady deal or something that can be twisted to serve. McGarrett throws the blackmailer out minus his tape recorder.

The detective now tries to frame McGarrett and the man both, from the latter's office late at night where he himself is killed by a mistaken hit man.

The initial gunman, a former employee of the private detective's, is brought in to testify. Disbarment proceedings and legal charges are immediately brought against the legal counsel by the committee he's working for. His campaign for attorney general is finished.

The second hit man kills his target in the hearing room at Iolani Palace, and is killed by McGarrett.

At the opening, McGarrett's palm is read by a gypsy in a bikini, before the pool and patio are struck with bullets.

The spareness and authenticity of the teleplay by William Robert Yates are well-matched by Benedict's direction.
