Cloth of Gold
Cloth of Gold. Episode 92, season 4. Original air date: 2/15/72.
An outrageously effiminate man named "Mingo" (a kind of mix between Hugh Hefner and Charles Nelson Reilly) dies at a big party for his benefit. The low-lifes at the party are the suspects and some of them are knocked off as the ep goes on. The murder weapon, the "cloth of gold," is a toxic shellfish, and ultimately weilded by a sympathetic character who was after the low-lifes for getting his daughter hooked on dope and sragging her into pornography (One of the low-lifes has a Bob Crane-like prediliction for home-made porn). Strange scene where Dan-o confronts the auteur. Strange episode insofar as there not much McGarrett, except, of course, for the final dramatic scene.
Highlight: When Kono notes "Dead fish, dead man", Dan-o dismisses it as "Hawaiian symbolism."
