- A rare 1913 Liberty Head nickel, one of only five ever made, is to be auctioned at a coin show held at the Ilikai Hotel. European master criminal Eric Damien gets con artist and sleight-of-hand expert, Arnie Price, freed from jail so that he can switch a cleverly-made fake with the original before the auction. But things do not go as planned, as Price, fearing capture, tries to dispose of the nickel in a news rack, and the chase is on to recover the nickel before anyone else finds it.—aldanoli
- Ex-con Arnie (Eugene Troobnick) is hired by European criminal Eric Damien (Victor Buono) to swap a counterfeit coin with a genuine one worth $100,000, which he successful does with some "leg work" by his wife, Millie (Hildy Brooks). To evade police, he sticks it into a newspaper vending machine, then waits for it to be emptied. They tail the man until he's a mile away, then ambush him, scattering the coins, but putting the vendor in a coma. When they return, Millie's lucky enough to overhear and to see a little boy pick up the coin; they follow the path of the coin takes in an effort to get a chance to recover it, with it later, coincidentally. being given back to them as change. McGarrett's on to him, though, and Arnie helps him set up Damien. As Eric is confronted en route to leaving Hawaii, another counterfeit is presented, but Damien's "magic" fails to fool McGarrett. Next flight: in about 20 years...
