A Bullet for El Diablo

A Bullet for El Diablo. Episode # 130, Season Six. Originaly aired November 13 1973.

Another classic hippie-era archetype--the Banana Republic dictator--makes a visit to the island where his daughter is kidnapped from the campus of the University of Hawaii at Monoa (which I visited in 1988). Turns out the kidnappers, who want money as well as to agitate for “their country” have a secret weapon: a love-child from the dictator who looks just like the kidnapped daughter. Thus El Presidente is assassinated. The episode ends, yet gain, with helicopters and seaside cliffs.

Highlight: watching Che Fong make his tape analysis.
