Having embarked on separate Yuletide "goodwill" missions, Magnum (Tom Selleck), T.C. (Roger E. Mosley), Rick (Larry Manetti) and Higgins (John Hillerman find themselves marooned in the middle of nowhere when T.C.'s chopper is forced down on a deserted strip of land known as Frenchman's Island. Unfortnately, this particular island has been chosen for gunnery practice by the Navy--and there's a certain ship's captain out there who is far too concerned with breaking a record to notice the castaways' feeble pleas for help! Highlights in this frenetically funny episode include the sight of Magnum in a Santa Claus suit, and a bizarre bit of whimsy in which Rick envisions his own funeral.
