A girl from Kansas comes to Hawaii and hires Magnum to find her father who disappeared years ago. She got a postcard from him from Hawaii. Magnum tries to find him but just when he does he trail runs cold. Eventually he finds him and just as he was about to explain things someone takes a shot at him. So he runs. Magnum eventually learns why he disappeared. And at the same time he had an accident driving the Ferrari. And when the person who struck him doesn’t have insurance he lets the person go. But when Higgins learns of this he tells Magnum either he pays or he can’t use the Ferrari anymore.

Fourth wall is broken: While outside the airport the client knows its Magnum’s car, he responds “How did you know this is my car”, then looks directly at the camera and smiles. This would happen throughout the series run.

Magnum is hired by a woman from Kansas to find her father who she has not seen for ten years.

Floyd Lewellen’s car is a Honda N600, the first Honda car officially imported into the US (starting with Hawaii). Yoshio Mizamura’s henchmen drive a 2nd generation Datsun 200SX coupe. Before the OPEC oil embargo few Americans would have bought a Honda. But when the price of gas skyrocketed Hondas were suddenly in high demand (one Civic model got 50 miles to the gallon, an almost unbelievable number), and waiting lists could be as long as eighteen months. After the worldwide boom in demand, Honda began to upscale their cars to eventually become one of the biggest car companies in the world.
