Good but annoying

S&S are hired to protect ancient samurai swords, to be delivered by two P. I.s from New York.

Though they don't talk like New Yorkers, they sure act like 'em. One is from Texas and has a thick accent.

They are both incredibly rude and consider everyone not from New York beneath them. One of them is even insulting to A. J.'s choice of wine, refusing everything domestic.

The four of them simply don't get along. Or do they? Then the swords are stolen and they all react with recriminations. Then they wonder how to act together to recover them.

This episode features James Shigeta. He was a favorite actor of mine long before I saw him in "Die Hard." But he was treated shamefully by Hollywood bigots who only stuck him in "Oriental" roles, most often as bad guys. Hollywood will make excuses that Society was to blame but that's a lie. He was a good actor and deserved better than ratty, narrow-minded Hollywood racists treated him. It's another good reason to hate Hollywood (as I do with all my heart), though they do make the best movies.
