The Arrow That is Not Aimed Magnum, P.I. : Season 3 Episode 14

Higgins sends Magnum to collect a valuable Kenzan porcelain plate, newly purchased by Robin Masters, from the airport, but the artefact, which was entrusted to the care of a Samurai warrior while in transport from Japan, has been stolen.

But they must work fast, as Tozan's centuries-old culture dictates that he must commit sepuku – which means taking his own life – if the precious plate isn't retrieved...
