You get the idea where this story is heading but that doesn't make it any more believable. Doc Carroll's (Joby Baker) plan to 'scare straight' his buddy and roommate Skip Baxter (Michael Parks) goes awry when the semi-sober Baxter decides to be pro-active about getting rid of the corpse Doc placed in his bed to fool Skip into thinking he killed someone. In any other program, wrapping a dead body in a rug to get rid of it demands the utmost secrecy, usually under cover of darkness, but here, Skip tosses it in the back seat of his convertible and drives off in search of a convenient dumping ground. I won't even get into what a mess he would have made by using a power saw to cut up the body (well, I guess I just did), nor will I mention how easily the sanitation worker hefted a garbage bag with a body in it (oops, did it again!). I did get a kick out of Mrs. Fister (Ruth McDevitt), capped off by her chicken liver omelet; that was a humorous diversion. Professor Dawson's (Martin Blaine) insistence that the missing cadaver be replaced gave Skip the bright idea that maybe it should be done by Doc, thereby proving beyond any reasonable doubt that Baxter was never playing with a full deck right from the start.
Despite the dumb story, look who appears in a significant supporting role - Olympic gold medalist in the decathlon, Rafer Johnson! He certainly had the look of a college football player, by contrast, teammate Skip Baxter looked only about half his size!
