Episode Summary

The A-Team signs on to help a watermelon farmer deliver his crop to market when an ambitious landowner named Chuck Easterland (Stuart Whitman) proves that he'll stop at nothing - even attempted murder - to prevent the melons from reaching their destination. If the farm can't get their crop out, they'll go under and Easterland will acquire their land. Easterland's men have every road out of the area blocked. Can Hannibal and the unit get the watermelons to the city before they spoil? - IMDB
