EPISODE

8. The Island

Dr. Fallone 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 seemingly blows the element of surprise.

Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

A young boy from a remote tropical island asks the A-Team to help his people who are being terrorized by a group of fiendish drug smugglers. Among the islanders is the A-Team's old Vietnam-era medic, Dr. Fallone. This is also the first time someone guesses Hannibal is in disguise, but it isn't him. Trivia: The stock airplane footage that was used when The A-Team travel to the island are clips of the Cutter's Goose from Tales of the Gold Monkey, which was a Universal-produced TV show that aired during the 1982-83 season.
