Unfortunately, this is not one of the better episodes. First, the Ed Haskell John Hubbard publicist character is one of the more annoying characters ever written. I know this is intentional, but it is not endearing.
Then the storyline is rather boring. It is about a supposed anti-aging formula that is to brought to market. George Takei (Larry Chang) plays the assistant to the head of the company wanting to buy the anti-aging formula.
Lisa Lu (Madame Tsu-Yin) plays a Chinese woman who, via using the formula, is a said to be 60-years old, yet looks 25-years old. She has arrived in Hawaii with her grandmother Beulah Quo.
Added to the mix is another genuinely old Chinese man who wants the formula for his family's honor. He hires two goons to steal a jewelry box that contains the formula.
Hawaiian Eye, specifically Anthony Eisley (Tracy Steele) is hired to provide security for the anti-aging formula.
The goons steal the jewelry box holding the formula, and later kidnap Madame Tsu-Yin. It turns out they are working for the old Chinese man. He is about to kill Madame Tsu-Yin when her grandmother explains who she really is, not a 60-year old woman, but her daughter, actually 25 years old. Tracy Steele rescues the jewelry box and then kills one of the goons.
At dinner later, Larry Chang and the former Madame Tsu-Yin go off together.
Not a great story, but saved by the acting of Lisa Lu, Beulah Quo, and George Takei.
Of interest, after this Ed Haskell and Tracy Steele are talking, and Ed mentions people visiting the Moon. While this is not a new idea, this episode was first aired May 3, 1961, and President John Kennedy would not present his speech, Address at Rice University on the Nation's Space Effort, otherwise known as "We choose to go to the Moon". The speech was made September 12, 1962.
