Highway Patrol S02E15 Migrant Workers

January 14,1957
Season 2
Episode 15
Using inside information from Sandy Collins, Jack and George Willis stop a truck carrying Collins and 11 fellow itinerant fruit pickers, all of whom are carrying their month's pay of $200. The Willises rob them at gunpoint and shoot Joe Valentine when he disobeys their orders and attempts to follow them. Collins gives Dan Mathews false information in an attempt to divert the investigation, but Dan easily exposes the flaws in his story. When Valentine dies, interrogation of Collins intensifies and additional evidence implicating him in the crime is discovered. Collins breaks down and provides information that Dan uses to set up roadblocks that will trap the Willises before they can flee the area. Written by Sam Spear

I watched Highway Patrol back in the fifties when they were new, and we kids just adored Broderick Crawford and his "twenty-one-fifty bye" and "ten-four" on his car radio! His Dan Matthews character on the show was so magnificent we didn't pay much attention to the other actors in the shows, LOL!

Dang... Haven't seen this show in decades. I had forgotten how rapidly Broderick Crawford used to bark-out all his lines. He always made Jack Webb and Harry Morgan (on TV's DRAGNET) look like two cops on Valium.

Lol! You are right about that. That's an awesome observation. Thanks for that.

Stealing from poor people should be extra jail time.
