The Second Shot

The Second Shot. Episode 51, Season Three. Originally aired Sept. 30, 1970.

Starts with Bouzouki music and a scene of Greece. Some group out to assassinate a Greek freedom fighter exiled in Hawaii takes on Eric Braden (who plays Victor in the detestably over-rated Young and the Restless) as an ingenius intruder into the Greek doctor's lair. It's the same guy who played the royal heir (John Marley) in "The Big Kahuna"--a guy who must've played Aristotle Onassis figures his whole life. I never understood the political import of the episode.

Highlight: The crazy shades McGarrett is wearing at the start of the episode.
