"Three Tickets to Lani" is an episode of the American television detective series Hawaiian Eye.

Synopsis

Jack Ferris and his mate Kala throw the body of a middle-aged man named Rennie off a power yacht. They murdered him in a badger game scenario gone bad. When Hawaiian Eye is commissioned by Stu Bailey to find Rennie, they stumble on the gang's next victim, Martin Fawcett. He is being enticed by Anita Callaghan, who poses as the sister of Jack Ferris and works in his travel agency. They offer their marks a "ticket to Lani" (the Hawaiian word for paradise), but instead knock them unconscious and leave them on the beach.

Tracey Steele finds the boat used by Ferris, also called Lani, while Tom Lopaka discovers their bungalow. Frightened by Lopaka's appearance, Ferris and Kala force Fawcett to accompany them and Anita on a quick sea voyage. Steele hides aboard the yacht and gets the drop on the villains while Lopaka and Kim summon the Coast Guard.
