Summary A mainland mobster arrives in the Islands planning to buy a semi-pro football team and skim the profits. When his brother, who has lived in Hawaii for some years, warns him that "they do things differently here," the mobster sneers: "This place is just Cleveland with coconuts!" Big mistake. McGarrett puts surveillance people on the mobster's trail and tells them to make the surveillance so obvious that anyone the mobster tries to threaten can just point to the cops and laugh in the mobster's face (sometimes the trackers do it too). The mobster tries to bribe Chin Ho and winds up with a lovely thank-you letter from the charity Chin donated the check to. And on and on and on, until the mobster brings in a hired gun to go after McGarrett, then gets hold of a weapon and tries to finish the job himself. Finally the mobster, having lapsed into diabetic shock and been admitted to McGarrett's hospital, fakes a fire alarm to get into McGarrett's room and shoots his "body" on the bed -- only to have the lights come on and McGarrett (who was propped up in a closet) tell him that Five-O "made" him with one look at his MedicAlert bracelet.
