This is really a bad movie, full of late 1960s cheese & plenty of groovy Hawaiian localities

Fishing boat skipper (Richard Boone) goes looking for his missing daughter
whom was last seen at a wild drug party a few days earlier.

The director "Lamont Johnson" has a long list of TV shows & TV movies on his resume
but not many theatrical releases outside of "Kona Coast & Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone" and a couple of others,
I strongly believe this was a failed TV pilot or movie made for TV in it's original form
And retooled for a limited release in movie houses.

Richard Boone's character "Capt. Sam Moran" goes through most of the movie in shorts & high white socks
which look ridiculous on him, Think what an aging John Wayne dressed the same out for vengeance
would look like & you get my point, although this made a good drinking game (every time Boone shows up in shorts, take a drink)
