OK, guys, I think I have this plot straight in my head, but please check me out here.
Mrs. Chase just wanted a fling with Marcus, but he got serious about her and figured she'd love him if he was rich, so he started hawking hot goods for Rose. She took him out in her boat to break up with him in private, but he flew off the handle. One way or another (she claims she was defending herself), he ended up drowning. Rose figured this out and blackmailed her. Magnum knew too much, so Rose was going to bump him off, but Tracy the metermaid saved him and cracked the whole case wide open, possibly winning herself a spot on the police force.
Right? Or what?

Random comments:
Magnum sure has a lot of "good friends" (and half brothers) that we've never heard of before. They tend to end up dead.
At the restaurant, there's a gusty wind blowing. Most of the times that we see Mrs. Chase, she's sort of holding her skirt down with her elbows. But when Magnum is sitting with her, even though the wind is clearly still gusting and she's not restraining the skirt, it never reveals anything untelevisable. Did they use a stunt skirt for that scene?

That's pretty much about it, Carol. A typical case for Magnum, don't you think.
Oh and Magnum gets beat up by two female enforcers in tight pants with long fingernails. Have we mentioned that already?

Wait, I just looked at the clip again. He appears to be wearing the same shirt in both scenes. It doesn't appear to be the Jungle Bird shirt.

There are other names that get the same treatment. "Sinclair" is the British mumblification of "St. Clair." There was a 60's tv show called The Rogues that had some fun with this -- three branches of the same family (represented by Gig Young, David Niven, and Charles Boyer) pronounced their mutual surname in different ways, sometimes referring to each other as "the saints and the sins."
The latter pronunciation was more appropriate, since they were all jewel thieves! Within a few short years, this premise would no longer be considered acceptable for a television series -- the network would no longer allow crime to "pay." (Which I suspect explains the rather gratuitous scene in "Ugliest Dog" where Magnum plans to report the pakalolo growers who had just saved his life!)
Back to mumbled British names: I assume that Agatha Chumley's ancestors spelled their name Cholmondeley (but pronounced it "Chumley" nevertheless).

I don't know how I missed that.
Thanks for the confirmation! The ending wrapped everything up so fast that Hubby and I were both scratching our heads, till I reasoned out the sequence of events that I posted above. I guess that's what we get for watching
