Plot Overview

McGarrett and the Five-O team take action when a gang of Marxist radicals take Dan and a college professor hostage and demand the release of two imprisoned comrades, who were arrested by Honolulu police after threatening a man with a gun in a shopping mall parking lot, in exchange for Dan and the professor being freed. When one of the radicals is killed when her car collides with a dump truck and explodes while fleeing from an HPD detective, the gang's leader retaliates by shooting and killing the professor, then having his body dumped at the front of his home, forcing McGarrett and his crew to step up their efforts, including calling in an HPD SWAT team for help, to save Dan and capture the radicals.

Behind the Scenes

This is the first episode filmed after the passing of series creator/Executive Producer Leonard Freeman. Although it's not made clear in the credits, Jack Lord pretty much is in control of the series for the remainder of its run.

The series' production credit thusly changes from "A Leonard Freeman Production in association with the CBS Television Network" to "A CBS Television Network Production" (and beginning in 1978, "A CBS Entertainment Production") followed by a separate credit, "Developed by Leonard Freeman Productions".
