Synopsis by Hal Erickson

This episode was originally the first half of a two-part crossover with the CBS private-eye series Simon and Simon. At the same time that Magnum (Tom Selleck) is hired to provide security at a high-society antiques charity auction, Mainland detectives A.J. and Rick Simon (Jameson Parker, Gerald McRaney) arrive in Hawaii in search of a priceless artifiact known as the Ki'i Doll. The doll carries with it an ancient curse, which brings death to anyone who touches it--and guess who that includes? Gillian Dobb, later to join the series' cast as Agatha Chumley, is here seen as Mabel. Inasmuch as the followup Simon and Simon episode "Emeralds are Not a Girl's Best Friend" is not included in the syndicated Magnum, P.I. package, "Ki'is Don't Lie" has been provided with an alternate ending which bring closure to the story and swift punishment to the principal villain!
