Episode Summary

Dr. Fallore once saved BA's life as medic in Vietnam but left the US Army to retire on a small fishery island. When it is invaded by a small army of thugs who want to abuse its sovereign status as cover for their criminal activities and treat the inhabitants as their slaves, he sends a young boy to LA where a simple ad gets him in contact with the A-team, which quickly shakes off Decker and rushes to the rescue. Without any help from Murdock's new friend, baby crocodile Wally Gator, they infiltrate and take on the better equipped, more numerous enemy, even after Hannibal blows the element of surprise. - IMDB

Episode Quotes

Murdock: Why don�t we get our own island? I always wanted to start a democratic society. Run my own country.
B.A.: Cool it, Murdock. You can't even run your own mind.
Murdock: Well, that wasn't very nice of you, BA. I was thinking of making you an ambassador to the coniferous trees. Maybe even the podocarpus.
B.A.: Yeah, maybe you can make me Sergeant of Arms so I can throw you out of the country.


Episode Disguises & Aliases
Hannibal: Island native, Guard
Face: "Playboy millionaire" who fell off a yacht and was washed ashore
Murdock: Wally Gater (baby crocodilius galaticus)


Episode Errors

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Murdock identified the animal he found in the Sherman tank as "Crocodylus Niloticus". Crocodylus Niloticus is the scientific name for the Nile Crocodile, which is found only in Africa and not on a Pacific island. - IMDB
