Hawaiian Eye
(1959 - 1963)





Hawaiian Eye is an American television series that aired on ABC from October 1959 to September 1963. Private investigator Tracey Steele (Anthony Eisley) and his half-Hawaiian partner, Tom Lopaka (Robert Conrad) own Hawaiian Eye, a combination detective agency and private security firm, located in Honolulu, Hawaii. Their principal client is the Hawaiian Village Hotel, which in exchange for security services, provides the agency with a luxurious private compound on the hotel grounds. The partners investigate mysteries and protect clients with the sometime help of photographer Cricket Blake (Connie Stevens) who also sings at the hotel's Shell Bar, and a ukelele-playing cab driver Kim Quisado (Poncie Ponce) who has relatives throughout the islands. Engineer turned detective Greg McKenzie (Grant Williams) joined the agency later on as a full partner, while hotel social director Philip Barton (Troy Donahue) lent a hand after Tracey Steele left. Hawaiian Eye aired on Wednesday nights at 8:00 Central Time and switched to 7:30 on Tuesday nights for its final season.
