The show begins with a lady coming to Hawaii to wait for her husband who is due on leave from Vietnam. However, while waiting, some psycho sneaks into her room and murders her! Considering that the killer used a bayonet, the police naturally suspect a military or ex-military man may have done this awful and seemingly random crime. However, when ANOTHER wife waiting for her husband on leave is murdered with a bayonet AND the husband is from the same unit, it's obvious that there is some pattern to the killings. But who is the culprit and why kill military wives?!
