2. Pass the Tabu

During a surfing competition, Greg wears Bobby's tabu idol and wipes out. Soon after, Greg, Peter and Bobby learn of the ancient superstition from a construction worker, Mr. Hanalei. This leads the boys to search for an ancient burial ground in which to return the idol and break the curse. However, they are unaware of a shadowy figure (Vincent Price) trailing them in the cave.

The tiki apparently brings continued bad luck to the family: Greg is reeling from his surfing crash, a wall ornament hanging in the boys' hotel room falls and nearly hits Bobby, and a tarantula finds its way into their room and nearly bites Peter.

The boys then learn that the idol must be discarded at an ancient burial ground in order for the curse to be removed. Guest star: Vincent Price as Professor Hubert Whitehead
