*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
Fresh from his eight-year stint as good-guy sheriff "Andy Taylor" on his legendary self-titled comedy series, Andy Griffith plays a character on the other side of the legal coin, the patriarch in a family of con artists. The trio runs afoul of some Hawaiian mobsters and find themselves in deadly peril and eventually depend on McGarrett and company to get them out of their precarious predicament.
The entire episode is played for laughs with even the deaths of three hoods having a bit of macabre humor.
Morton Stevens, as always rises, to the occasion musically by creating a whimsical score to compliment the on-screen action.
Prior to the production of this episode, it was announced that both Griffith and Carol Burnett would be appearing in it. For some reason, Burnett didn't appear and the wife's role fell to Joyce Van Patten, sister of Dick. She does admirably in the part, holding her own with the more experienced Griffith.
The episode also features Harold Sakata, famous to Bond fans as "Oddjob" from "Goldfinger." His appearance is another bonus to one of the best in the show's run.
