Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring the initial seasons of this series, William Boyett's character was consistently referred to as "Officer Johnson". In this particular episode, he suddenly became "Sergeant Johnson".
- GoofsIf the store that the officer enters is open, then the "open" sign would be facing outwards so that it could be seen through the front window, not inwards towards the store's interior.
- Quotes
Dan Mathews: [to Sergeant Johnson] Make a note - another APB on Desmond. Have the fellas cover all points in this area. He might be traveling with a gal in a brown convertible.
[to Grundy]
Dan Mathews: Describe her, will you?
Grundy: Well, about 25, 26.
[hesitates]
Dan Mathews: Oh, come on, Mr. Grundy - you've gotta do better than that!
Grundy: Well, brown hair, about five foot four or five. Kinda silly-lookin'.
Dan Mathews: You have a doctor take a look at that neck of yours. I'll send an officer back to get a full report. Next time, look out for who you hire!
[to Sergeant Johnson]
Dan Mathews: Desmond's got everything he needs - car, money, and a girlfriend. He's probably headed back for the city. If we don't pick him up before he gets there, we'll lose him again. C'mon - let's roll!
And, oh yeah, plot-wise The Patrol's after a fleeing murderer, who uses good looks and charm to sneak past police lookouts. And catch sweetheart Gail Kobe who's enough to make any guy quit a life of crime. And how about the old couple and the rotund foreman-- more good realistic touches. Then too, I still marvel at Crawford's machine-gunning of his lines. He spits them out with authority faster than speeding bullets.
Anyway, I was disappointed by the climax that seemed too abrupt and unimaginative, but maybe I missed something. All in all, it's still a solid crime trip through greater 1950's LA, HP style.
