Episode Summary

A small fishing village is held hostage by a greedy fisherman and his goons. They have a protection racket going and if the other seamen in the village don't give Garber (John Quade) half of their haul, Garber and his men capsize their boats. Of course, if the extortion continues, the bay's sea life will be depleted and none of the residents will be able to survive there anyway. The A-Team comes to the aid of the Mayer family which has fallen victim to Garber's men. Unfortunately, Col. Decker is also hot on their heels, too. The question is, will Decker leave with the A-Team or Garber in custody? - IMDB
