Thomas is delivering key evidence at the courthouse when he is shot in the parking lot by a hitman. In a coma, Thomas needs to save Michelle from some killers, and meets up with the ghost of his former Naval buddy Mac. Then he bids each of his friends a personal goodbye, in case he doesn't make it.

Thomas is running an errand to a local museum for Higgins' upcoming pageant for the Anglo-Hawaiian Historical Society, when he catches sight of a woman attending a funeral who, he soon learns, resembles a beautiful Hawaiian princess who tragically died in a fire in 1910. Thomas becomes enamoured with the elusive beauty, and experiences visions of himself, in 1900s naval uniform, with the woman. The mystery grows even more when he receives a package in the mail containing such a naval uniform, and a locket holding photographs of what looks like himself and the princess... Is Magnum once again experiencing something ethereal, or is somebody using the story of the princess to their advantage?...
