Lt. Starbuck, while testing out a new ultrafast spaceship, loses the ship to a crafty renegade and suddenly finds himself marooned and imprisoned on a mysterious planet where the prisoners serve terms for the crimes of their ancestors. In "The Long Patrol" Lt. Starbuck's astronautical prowess meets its match in Starchaser and CORA, the Galactica's new ultrafast spaceship and her talking computer. When Starbuck loses his ship to a wily escaped convict, the young pilot suddenly finds himself on a mysterious planet whose inhabitants have been imprisoned. Determined to recapture his ship and return to the fleet, Starbuck incites a convict revolt for freedom.

A relatively simple case of industrial espionage turns to a complex case of divided loyalties for Magnum, when he is hired by a computer magnate to investigate the theft of valuable codes.

A reluctant Magnum agrees to help a friend of Higgins to find the person or persons responsible for the kidnapping of his grandchild.

At a luxurious but remote tropical island resort, the enigmatic Mr. Roarke somehow makes the secret dreams of his well-heeled guests come true, although twists of fate occasionally turn those dreams into nightmares. He is assisted by Tattoo, a little person who could be trusted to sing out, "Da plane! Da plane!" as each group of guests arrived. In the final season of the series, Roarke is joined by Lawrence, a dapper Englishman. As a sort of anthology series, the show featured new guest stars each week, and many big names of the era made a trip onto "Fantasy Island."
