This is the episode every series feels the need for at least once, it seems. :-) The star through some accident is stuck in the wilderness under adverse and dangerous conditions, and even a glimpse of salvation proves elusive.
I've seen this story on Mannix (more than once), Cannon, 77 Sunset Strip, Maverick ... even Adam-12. LOL
Hawaii 5-0 did a nice job with their version, using a prior mob-boss character (of course) but not the same actor who previously played him. We first saw Charlie Bombay (I think) in the episode where he threw a hooker off an apartment or hotel balcony.
Here, he and an injured McGarrett play a game of one-upmanship while McGarrett works on his head ... correctly analyzing that Bombay's prison break was engineered by his former lieutenants to eliminate him. Interesting show.
