"Baywatch" was an one-hour television series which ran on the NBC television network for one year and then in syndication from 1989 to 1999. It was set on a Los Angeles beach and the main characters were lifeguards who patrolled the beaches. This episode is titled "K-Gas the Groove Yard of Solid Gold" and was first broadcast on November 19, 1994. A radio host stages a promotional contest where contestants can find clues and the winner will receive a gold doubloon worth $100,000. The contest draws many people to the beach and some engage in risky behavior requiring rescue by the lifeguards. The gold doubloon is shown several times but the coin in the program does not resemble a real doubloon.

Larry 'Loomin' Large is a radio host from radio station KGAS who has been hired to broadcast his program at the opening of the Sandy Kaye cafe.

The prize coin sits behind Larry in a box with a blue and white ribbon.

The coin does not resemble a real Spanish doubloon at all and appears to be a generic imitation coin. Mitch Buchannon, the head lifeguard, talks to Larry.

Mitch warns Larry that his contest may cause injuries to beachgoers. Larry tells Mitch that he has a permit from the city and that the cafe owner, Kaye Morgan, approved of the promotion. Sergeant Garner Ellerbee of the police force watches over the contest.

Kaye happens to be Mitch's girlfriend. Matt Brody and C.J. Parker are two lifeguards.

Matt and C.J. rescue a few people stuck on cliffs or in the water. Matt and C.J. become caught up in the contest and look for clues. They drive to another beach and look in a cave where they find Basel Frankakos, a local goof.

Basel has found the final clue next to a skeleton wearing a pirate hat.

The three leave the cave and are driven back to the main beach. Larry Large awards Basel the prize coin.

Mitch and Sergeant Ellerbee discover that Basel works for the city and issued the permit for the promotion. Sergeant Ellerbee chases Basel who accidently sends the coin into the air.

Basel and Larry are arrested.

Sergeant Ellerbee and Mitch explain that the contest was a fraud and that the coin belonged to Larry's father.
