Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Fugitive gangster Michael Otagi (Lani Tupu) has established himself as "the God" of a remote Pacific Island. With the help of his partner Regehr (Adrian Wright), not to mention a lethal mixture of "magic" chemicals, Otagi has also enslaved the native populace for the purpose of mining gold. Arriving on the scene, the IMF employs a bit of synthetic hocus-pocus to usurp Otagi's authority. Written by Dale Duguid, "Cargo Cult" first aired on January 13, 1990.
