- A honeymooner is murdered during a rigged game of poker and his brother arrives in Hawaii for revenge.
- A poker game ends with a tourist losing a lot of money and leaving the house. While getting in his car he notices a van behind some trees, looks inside to see a lot of eavesdropping equipment and heads back to the house and the game. Several cars leave so the viewer does not know whom is left in the house, then three gunshots are heard and another car speeds off. The tourist is found mortally wounded but still alive.
Five-O arrive and the tourist is taken to a hospital while the team investigates the room. McGarrett follows the ambulance and is told at the hospital the tourist is dying. His new bride, Maggie, arrives and is distraught but allowed to talk to him. He whispers *Left handed...* to her and dies. She does NOT tell McGarrett this fact when questioned.
Maggie`s brother in law, Lorenzo (John Colicos, who played Klingons during Star Trek), is due to arrive on a flight from the mainland and she meets it. She tells Lorenzo about the "left handed" death statement and Lorenzo starts his own investigation.
McGarrett knows there were 5 men in the poker game, that the dead tourist smoked menthol cigarettes, Mr A (since they do not know names) chewed gum, Mr. B wore glasses, Mr. C smoked cigars and Mr. D a different cigarette. The house the game was in was apparently not owned or related to anyone that can be traced, but the video equipment for spying is found and the technician located and questioned. He does not volunteer anything to Five-O.
Lorenzo slowly locates the players himself, trying to find the left-handed one. He dismisses George Byas (the other smoker) since he is not left handed, but that leads to Lilo (the gum chewer) and finds he is not left handed, but that leads to Del Enright (glasses).
McGarrett trys pressing Maggie to stop Lorenzo from interferring with the investigation, and she does not cooperate. McGarrett and Five-O are about a step behind in each player`s identification.
At Enright`s house, Lorenzo wants him to throw a tennis ball to see if he is left handed but Quong (Jack Soo of "Barney Miller" fame) hiding in the bushes kills Enright before he throws, and wounds Lorenzo before fleeing. Now Lorenzo believes it is Quong (the cigar smoker and only one that remains) so he tracks him down, first calling Maggie to try and get some medical help and a message to McGarrett.
McGarrett arrives as Maggie is on the phone with Lorenzo, telling her that Lorenzo is wanted for murder (Enright) and she would be an accessory if she keeps hiding the truth, Maggie finally tells McGarrett that her husband shared the "left handed..." comment with her, but when she hands the phone to McGarrett to talk to Lorenzo, he has hung up.
HPD spots Lorenzo in Quong`s neighborhood and Five-O speed to the scene. Lorenzo is not 100% sure it was Quong so he forces his way in confronting him. Quong makes a drink for Lorenzo and uses his left hand to offer it confirming finally he was the shooter of Lorenzo at Enright`s house, the killer of Enright, and he killed Lorenzo`s brother.
Quong distracts Lorenzo with some false evidence that it was instead Enright who shot his brother and pulls his own gun (in his left hand). He has the gun that killed Enright, he is going to kill Lorenzo and claim self defense when he puts the Enright weapon into Lorenzo`s hand after he is dead.
McGarrett and Five-O kick in the door, Quong fires and is killed by McGarrett. They find the Enright murder weapon still in Quong`s hands solving that case, but there is the matter of Lorenzo. McGarrett scolds Lorenzo for interferring and takes him into custody for medical treatment (for the wound he got from Quong) and will then have him processed for his crimes.
