I just looked up actress Susan Dorn on IMDB and they have her date of birth as May 14, 1928. That makes her 91 not 87. She appeared in 3 episodes of Highway Patrol from 1957 to 1959. She only acted from 1957 to 1962 in 12 different tv shows or movies. Maybe her acting career was cut short due to her pulling a gun on Dan Mathews and spent many years in prison. LOL
@@franknew9001 I can’t understand why she pulled the gun. She could have faked ignorance about her husband’s secret activities. No reason for both of them to go to jail.
@@franknew9001 Ah, she didn't really mean it, she didn't want to shoot him, she said so didn't she? She should've got some leeway from the law for that, right?
I love the women in these shows always very fit and wearing a sharp dress .. Well today it would be a 250 lb butchie loaded with tats and spitting on the floor and calling everybody dude..

Yessirr you damn right about that! What happened to the word, femininity(?) Must no longer be in the vocabulary today. Again to clear myself, I ain't directing this to all women, though. Just saying
Had I been Sam's wife I would NEVER have followed him into crime! Now the wife has to face jail time for her faithfulness to a wicked husband! Too bad, so sad!
I enjoy finding bloopers in these shows. When the '57 Chevy first blocks the road the front tires are turned right. When they are walking the couple towards the '57 Chevy to haul them away the tires are turned left.
Yeah. They never imagined in the future one could have their own personal copy of the show to watch over n over. Fast forward, rewind, freeze frame, etc.
Kinda sad. If these crooks had only known that if they had bought two of those houses for $12K each back then, they'd be multimillionaires right now. Tsk tsk....
12K in 1957 is around 100K in 2020 munny, the house wouldn't be worth much now but the land in the hills of so-cal where they filmed these shows would and IS!
Kinky, That's close to true. I know a gentleman that bought a house around San Diego for I think he said, $32,000 in 1958, sold it in 1995 for over $300,000 not a million. but not bad at all

20:50 love these shows, what America used too be like, beautiful small homes perfect driveways, mowed yards, clean streets, even the citizens evil-doers we're dress perfect. 60 years latter, fire gutted houses, chuck holes in the streets, broken curbs no driveways, Gangs Drugs, stolen shopping carts in the yard no sense wasting your time on a perpetrator, whole freaking City, are full of them.😊
He also portrayed a state trooper from Idaho that issued hints about railroad safety in a film about rail crossings made by Union Pacific in the late 1950s.
Highway Patrol also had some pre-star actor/actress appearances such as Clint Eastwood, Leonard Nimoy and Barbara Eden. On several episodes Stuart Whitman was also a patrolman. I understand Whitman and Crawford became good friends, Whitman tried to help him with his drinking issue.
I watched this episode last week on TV and made a discovery! Glad I found it on TH-cam! I had to start watching this series from the very first episode. I love it, especially since it has NO commercials! I also enjoy watching "The Fugitive" on TV! Both great shows!

@winggullseagull my parents had a '57 Bel Air wagon. Bought it used and within a few years the floorboard rusted out. Car was less than 10 years old. I wonder what my parents paid for that wagon🤔. I'm sure you wish you had that car now but in 1968 who knew?
@@richardrice8076 It was a 4 door hardtop I was hoping my dad would keep it. I recall in the mid '60's he had a piece of wood a 2 by 4 to hold the hood up. He bought a Chevelle Malibu in 1968 for my mom. She learned to drive in the '57 Chevy but it had no power steering it was a tank. That's why he bought the Chevelle w/ power steering. I used to know a co-worker in 1979 he bought a '57 Bel Air Convertible in 1964.....for $400 he was a kid then he sold it in the late '60's cheap like my dad. Little did he know it was an investment but he had no way of knowing in 1964. The reason the kids latched onto them was they were so cheap & the classic style. Hindsight is 20/20.
why not to wear gloves for the heist , there is no use to clean the money box or the chair , the fingerprints were printed on the adhesive tape he used to immobilize the victim.
Commit a crime without involving a victim personally or secondly a victim but not hurting them or thirdly no weapons and the crime and the sentence are much reduced, the great train robbery in Britain would have been regarded considerably differently if the train driver haden't been attacked. The more successful the crime without human victim involvement to a certain extent the less chance of being caught or being given a long sentence and the more admiration you get.
At 10:55, Ken Williams is called "patrolman Johnson"... strange. Later in civil suit, he is as seducing as in uniform... as the Chevrolet Bel Air he's driving... Thanks, good episode.
The clothes that most people find acceptable to wear out in public, are the same clothes that folks from that era wore to do gardening, crawl underneath the house, work on the car, clean out the cesspool.... They would have never dreamed of wearing them in public. Today's population is disgusting! 🤮 Everyone looks like a vagrant! I am proud to say that I still wear a suit and tie every day. 🙂
2:32 "Help, police! I've just been robbed by Clark Gable. Or maybe it was Errol Flynn, or Boston Blackie. Maybe even Thomas Dewey. I couldn't tell." 16:43 Same panel truck as the credit card episode?
Crimes pays in the beginnings & cost in the end! The morals of this story is; 'If U can't do the time", "don't do the crime"! Robert Blake(Baretta) Also in some cases, it can lead to death!!
I wasn't old enough to drive in the 1950's but I don't remember drivers always getting into a car on the passenger side and sliding over to drive like they do in this tv series.
It's sort of a holdover from when there were still a lot of unpaved roads. People would exit the car on the curb side so that they weren't walking in mud and getting their shoes dirty. Many early American automobiles actually had the steering wheel on the right-hand side for that very reason, even though we drove on the right-hand side of the road. Not many vehicles with a bench seat anymore, so it's not really a option nowadays.....
There weren't many bucket seats then, just bench seats. Made it lots easier to slide across. Our girl friends sat in the middle in the front! Can't do that any more.
How about it? From Dan Mathews in Highway Patrol to two motorcycle officers in CHiPs in two decades, the role of California's police service is the same to protect and serve.
7:35 Isn't this the sort of crime that the city police department should investigate? The highway patrol usually deals with accidents, moving violations, stolen vehicles, overland smuggling, fugitives from justice and other problems involving drivers, the roads and vehicles.
Criminals in the '50's had style. No gangsta look for them. Sports Jacket, tie, leather shoes. And their women. Nice dresses, courteous: "I don't want to shoot, but I will." She coulda just drilled him.
After all those smart hold-ups, the robber suddenly becomes stupid. WHY did he just let Dan Matthews go? He should've taken Dan as a hostage in the front passenger seat, with hands tied. His wife would drive, and he would be seated behind Matthews, his gun aimed at Matthews' spine. They would've gotten clear all the way to the next state.
This was before the criminals were allowed to go free no matter how guilty they are. Now we even open the prisons and let them all out because it costs too much to coddle them all. Now they get free medical, free college credits, free food, exercise time, lotsa sleep, and they get to hang with all their gang buddies.
Used to watch this show all the time as a kid. Now I'm 67 and watching it again. Great stuff.
You know it's trouble when the crook says "Don't worry honey, just one last job."

Little did he know it was an investment but he had no way of knowing in 1964. The reason the kids latched onto them was they were so cheap & the classic style. Hindsight is 20/20.
Held up robbed and beaten. Call Highway Patrol,
This series is educational as well as entertaining.Delinquents should be made to watch this so they can clearly see they will never get away with it.
I always liked the close-up shots, they were done with handheld cameras......added realism.
Dan looks like one of the Blues Brothers in those shades!! lol
Using a '57 Chevy as a roadblock, priceless.
14:37 : "Baby I know what I'm doin' "
They why are you driving a Ford?
You know how to spell obviously not
^Ford Owner
Because 1957 Ford could have 312 CID V-8 as opposed to 283 CID V-8 in Chevys. Fords were faster.
why not to wear gloves for the heist , there is no use to clean the money box or the chair , the fingerprints were printed on the adhesive tape he used to immobilize the victim.
+Ron Wolpa
It was not in the script.
rahkin rah
What red wagon? What plastic sword? As far as I know I never played with dumb kids like you.
Why not tape the police up and pull the house phone and car radio, he taped the store managers up?
Commit a crime without involving a victim personally or secondly a victim but not hurting them or thirdly no weapons and the crime and the sentence are much reduced, the great train robbery in Britain would have been regarded considerably differently if the train driver haden't been attacked. The more successful the crime without human victim involvement to a certain extent the less chance of being caught or being given a long sentence and the more admiration you get.
His prints were inside the cash box too.
Lotta work to back those behemoths out of that tight drivewayaway
Because only Simpletons pull in to a driveway only having to back out blindly and expect people to wait on them. Forward thinking people back in.
Another steakout!!!! Make mine medium well with extra mushrooms. I prefer Omaha steaks Don’t forget the pan gravy on the side
Just one more thousand. One more job. Has sent most people to prison.
At 10:55, Ken Williams is called "patrolman Johnson"... strange.
Later in civil suit, he is as seducing as in uniform... as the Chevrolet Bel Air he's driving...
Thanks, good episode.
17:44 Brod talks into an "Elvis" Electro-Voice dynamic mic.
No search warrant, just walks right in.
ol' dan deputy dawg on the scene. roadblocks and blowing criminals away solved in 25 mins time.
GET 'EM THAR, DEPUTY DAWG.
Stupid not just hiding loot along delivery route and carrying on delivering patience is a virtue.
How things were so proper back then crooks would wear suit and ties.
The clothes that most people find acceptable to wear out in public, are the same clothes that folks from that era wore to do gardening, crawl underneath the house, work on the car, clean out the cesspool.... They would have never dreamed of wearing them in public.
Today's population is disgusting! 🤮
Everyone looks like a vagrant!
I am proud to say that I still wear a suit and tie every day. 🙂
At the end of the day you're a worthless human animal, no matter what you happen to wear.
I recon this proves that we had dumb crooks back then too! lol!
tom allen yea all the smart crooks are in prison
In the early 1950s life in America was a wonderful and clean prosperous nation at the time Greg p.
Except for black people tell that too
@@lonnieadams8180 Lonnie what do you mean by that
This robber played in so many Highway Patrol series as a crook, Starting to get tired of seeing him.
Probably the most money he ever made in the biz.
A very ironic phrase, "this will be the last time( or job)"! That end of the story end right there and then!? Lol
Before security cameras, all was possible
These old shows are great! I like how he stuffs the evidence mask into the bad guy’s pocket for safe keeping.
2:32 "Help, police! I've just been robbed by Clark Gable. Or maybe it was Errol Flynn, or Boston Blackie. Maybe even Thomas Dewey. I couldn't tell."
16:43 Same panel truck as the credit card episode?
That Broderick is damned near clairvoyant...

Crimes pays in the beginnings & cost in the end! The morals of this story is; 'If U can't do the time", "don't do the crime"! Robert Blake(Baretta) Also in some cases, it can lead to death!!
70% of crooks never get caught.
Im opposite. Im single ..watch these at 4 5am im morning......lol
I wasn't old enough to drive in the 1950's but I don't remember drivers always getting into a car on the passenger side and sliding over to drive like they do in this tv series.
It's sort of a holdover from when there were still a lot of unpaved roads. People would exit the car on the curb side so that they weren't walking in mud and getting their shoes dirty. Many early American automobiles actually had the steering wheel on the right-hand side for that very reason, even though we drove on the right-hand side of the road.
Not many vehicles with a bench seat anymore, so it's not really a option nowadays.....
There weren't many bucket seats then, just bench seats. Made it lots easier to slide across. Our girl friends sat in the middle in the front! Can't do that any more.
Bench seats were great for many things 😂 .
@@billhowes7937 Don't you mean the back seat?
title should have been "A Democrat in a mask". When he was calling Andy i thought Andy Griffith was going to enter.
Stupid comment
A real white collar crime. Theres more than one type. The cars are pretty nice. Even bad guys dress for success.
How about it? From Dan Mathews in Highway Patrol to two motorcycle officers in CHiPs in two decades, the role of California's police service is the same to protect and serve.
7:35 Isn't this the sort of crime that the city police department should investigate? The highway patrol usually deals with accidents, moving violations, stolen vehicles, overland smuggling, fugitives from justice and other problems involving drivers, the roads and vehicles.
Well, true, but TV shows are never gonna be realistic. I just enjoy
Criminals in the '50's had style. No gangsta look for them. Sports Jacket, tie, leather shoes. And their women. Nice dresses, courteous: "I don't want to shoot, but I will." She coulda just drilled him.
It's a TELEVISION SHOW, pal.
+Stan Jefferson Yeah, I noticed that too. Ha!! P. S. and well spoken. Ha!
You know this is pretend, right???
Her surname is Dorn. If it had been Bernadette Dorn, I would have wished the HP had drilled her, the mudering Commie female rat.
Ah, the sound of the carburetor. Thank goodness we don’t have to deal with that anymore.
remember waiting for the shown to come on when I was 6-7
After all those smart hold-ups, the robber suddenly becomes stupid.
WHY did he just let Dan Matthews go? He should've taken Dan as a hostage in the front passenger seat, with hands tied. His wife would drive, and he would be seated behind Matthews, his gun aimed at Matthews' spine.
They would've gotten clear all the way to the next state.
Thanks for bringing this to us.
Employees always the first to be suspected. Existing and previously. Elementary.
It's a proven fact that you're very own employees are your biggest thieves,
Think INSIDE JOB. INSIDE JOB......
.
He should have plugged Dan,big mistake.That creep just plugged an innocent 57 Chevy.
Aaahhh........the age of the Fedora!!
I love this old shows from the '50s, including the voiceovers.
Just walk in. No warrant. That all gets dismissed these days.
This was before the criminals were allowed to go free no matter how guilty they are. Now we even open the prisons and let them all out because it costs too much to coddle them all. Now they get free medical, free college credits, free food, exercise time, lotsa sleep, and they get to hang with all their gang buddies.
Door was open.
@@NaYawkr
they also get help finding a job if or when they get out.
Mark,
that was before Miranda rights, they didn't come along until July 1966
Love this series
Don't worry baby this the last time
FAMOUS LAST WORDD
Always had to laugh when the Mopars and GM cars all sounded like they had Ford flathead starters.
Love
That driveway is awfully narrow
