This week, we rejoin the A-Team as they try to help a watermelon farmer (Robert Sampson) and his daughter Ellen (Devon Ericson) get their fruit to market. To do so they must break a blockade led by Chuck Easterland (Stuart Whitman) and Sheriff Murphy (Tom McFadden), in time to get a good price for the juicy delivery.
This episode was directed by Guy Magar. The teleplay was written by Stephen J. Cannell and Patrick Hasburgh from a story by Babs Greyhosky.
