Samuel 'Smiling Sammy' Little was a used car salesman in Wahiawa, Hawaii who sold jalopies to the US Army men from Schofield Barracks before the invasion. He had a reputation for unscrupulousness before the Japanese came, as most of the cars he sold were defective, and his interest rates were as high as the law would allow. After Japan conquered Hawaii, many locals believed that Sam Little collaborated with them, even ratting on others as he always seemed to be happy and better fed than anyone else in town.
