Overview
Robert Ginty and Jeff McCracken played Chicago cops who grew weary of Midwestern winters and quit their jobs on the spur of the moment to become detectives in balmy Hawaii. Their boss at the Honolulu Police Department was played by veteran actor Mako. Many of the episodes were directed by Ivan Dixon. The series was shot in Hawaii.[1] Only eleven episodes aired on ABC, including the pilot movie.
