Magnum participates in a marathon while searching for a missing man.

The stars have a laugh remembering great Brooksian scenes.

This collection gathers the entire first season of this hugely popular television series and explains how laid-back Vietnam vet Thomas Magnum (Tom Selleck) took on the role of debonair detective in residence at the lush Hawaiian estate of the mysterious Robin Masters. With uptight British soldier turned estate caretaker Jonathan Higgins (John Hillerman) constantly on his case, Magnum still finds time for work and play.

Tom Harvey's daughter, Cynthia (BEVER-LEIGH BANFIELD) falls in love with Will Palmer (STAN SHAW) a railroad worker who soon lands a job at the lumber company. Tensions meanwhile mount in Henning as the white community seeks to strip the blacks of their rights. Will's friend Lee Garnet (ROGER MOSLEY) is lynched after accompanying Tom (GEORG STANFORD BROWN) when he fails in his attempt to register to vote.
