HAWAII FIVE-O: THE MEIGHAN CONSPIRACY (TV)
Summary
One in this series of dramas that follow rogue Detective Steve McGarrett as he uncovers evil in paradise as a member of a special branch of the Hawaiian State Police. In this episode, Detective Steve McGarrett must solve a baffling bank robbery. At the First Security Bank, manager Monty Doheeny finds that the vault has been robbed overnight, but there are no signs of a break-in. The governor asks Five-O to investigate, along with inspectors from the federal government. Curious about the construction around the vault, McGarrett visits the builder of the structure, Matthew Meighan. Danno and McGarrett then find that three other banks with the same specifications have been robbed. All of the banks robbed were situated in shopping malls, just like the First Security Bank. Five-O's clues keep pointing to Meighan and his wife, whose construction companies built two of the structures in which robberies took place. But McGarrett must find hard proof of the pair's guilt before he can make an arrest. Commercials deleted.
