"The Kamehameha Cloak" is the January 13, 1960 (season 1, episode 15) episode of the American television detective series Hawaiian Eye, produced for ABC by Warner Bros. Television.
On the Kona Coast, plantation owner Ames Caldwell has located the hidden burial chamber of King Kamehameha I and removed from it the sacred cloak. Local kahuna Lanakila accuses Caldwell of sacrilege and begins a death chant against him. When Caldwell falls ill, his much-younger wife May makes the trip to Honolulu and hires Tom Lopaka to investigate the cause of his sickness. Lopaka and Kim travel to the Caldwell ranch on the Big Island where they meet foreman Jim Symington, who behaves in an overly-friendly manner with May. They also encounter Dr Abner Goode, a former ship's doctor of questionable ability.
As Caldwell sickens more, Lopaka unsuccessfully tries to convince Lanakila to stop his death chant. Subsequently, the telephone line is found to be cut and a cleaver is thrown at Lopaka. In the meantime, Kim pursues a romantic interest in Suke Yamato, an attractive Japanese girl, while Caldwell's uninhibited teenage daughter Pauline disrupts the investigation and Symington's suspicious familiarity with May causes Lopaka to question her in an accusing manner. In order to remove the cloak as the source of a putative curse, Lopaka returns it to the burial chamber, where he is attacked by Lanakila, but manages to overcome him. Elliot, a physician from Honolulu, manages Caldwell's recovery as it is discovered that the culprit was Doctor Goode, who was administering poison to Caldwell. Upon being exposed, Goode dies of a heart attack, while the affectionate behavior between Jim Symington and May Caldwell is revealed in the fact that they are siblings.
