A private investigator is questioned by the authorities about a murder - his story encompasses criminal goings-on that are intermingled with the presence of a gardner called David who has no tracable past. Then there is the eventual unexplained appearance of a large green monster...
Told from the perspective in retrospect by the titular character, the epsiode takes on the form of a 40s/50s film noir, in terms of both plot and style of narration. The dialogue can be looked on as quite corny but I guess that's a deliberate aspect of the whole approach. It's a novel and refreshing idea in the context of the series, but when Hulk does appear he seems to have stumbled onto the wrong set, his presence being completely at odds with the atmosphere of the story.

Interest wanes as the episode progresses unfortunately, despite the novelty. This was the first of two episodes directed by Jack Colvin, aka Jack McGee of course (the character himself not appearing here), the second foray being East Winds later in the same year.
