In case anyone didn't know, this episode is not "The Deadly Diamonds" (S4: Ep9) but actually one called "Gem Robbery" (S4: Ep19) according to the IMDb. There is also another earlier episode that is called "Gem Robbery" (S2: Ep32) which may have caused the confusion. The "Deadly Diamonds" is one of four episodes that is currently not available on TH-cam. The other three episodes are: "Mothers' March", "Nitro", and "Revenge" (1). In order to see those particular shows you have to shell out some serious DVD loot.
This episode listed as S4 E19 on IMDB as "Gem Robbery" is "Deadly Diamonds". @8176morgan is correct, the episode are very similar in story. One difference is only diamonds worth $35,000 are stolen in this story. The other involves various gems worth $350,000."IMDB has "Gem Robbery" listed as S4 E9.

There is an episode of Highway Patrol, where at the beginning, Dan Matthew's is playing golf with an old judge. I noted how in those opening scenes, Dan in his golf attire, looked much like Tony Soprano.
Too bad that Tesla driver didn't hear Broderick's advice "No matter how new,your cars safest device is you" 58 years later still sage advice. Worlds best shot with that .38 snub nose. The days when "undercover" meant get your best fedora on and the shiniest car in the fleet. Then follow the suspect with the car 30 feet behind as she walks three blocks....
The diamond thieves should've driven away Rita's car with them and stashed it away somewhere. With Rita AND her car missing, Rita would be suspect and an APB would've been put out for her car. Dan Matthews and his HP would then waste their time trying to look for it. But with Rita's car abandoned right in front of the station, the police would immediately suspect she might've been kidnapped. But it seems funny when the Deputy drove to the station, he never even noticed Rita's car, which was parked right in front of him. A big blooper there!!!!
Broderick Crawford looked like a grizzly bear lumbering through the underbrush at 23:45. They probably induced him to perform this by telling him there was a bottle out there with his name on it.
MrShobar ....Yeah, I hear tell he was a real boozer. A few drunk driving charges too. I know the Highway Patrol didn't even want him playing that part because he was an embarrassment.
I was thinking that she might get suspicious about being followed. Dan should have started groping himself. That way she would think that it was just another weirdo in Cali and not the cops following her. 😄
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Realistically portrayed citizens/criminals/law enforcement officials. Enjoy viewing 👀 viewing the automobiles/pay phone booth/police switch board. Amazing how accurate a shot Uncle Broderick is with his snub nose revolver-!!!🤗.
Love how anyone mentioned on the phone just suddenly appears. These scripts were as speedy as Crawford's verbal deliveries. Probably what contributed greatly to the show's success.
*Highway Patrol* must like the tracks that are now owned by Union Pacific. In today's modern era in California, UP now has the lion's share of the tracks largely thanks to Southern Pacific which also had the lion's share of the tracks in the 1950s.
It’s a shame one of SP’s classic steamers that still runs won’t be seen in CA again. The Daylights in Portland and UP doesn’t allow any non-UP steam locomotives.
The Uniform Crime Report indicates that burglary or breaking and entering is by far the largest reported or detected felony, far exceeding robbery. The announcer indicated that robbery was most common, which is not true (thank goodness). Nevertheless, this historical rerun is fun to watch. Dan looks pretty snazzy in that Chrysler New Yorker; some undercover car. 😎
Gee, they sure started talking about Rita in the past tense pretty quickly! Policing sure was based on gut feelings back in the 50’s, huh? You could tell Lydia was guilty as they come from the time she walked into the office.
7:03, The lady tells Matthew's that the wife complains to her of the fact that her husband can't hold down a job and that she's tired of supporting him.
The second secretary was an obvious suspect the second Mathews went in asking questions. She would have seen the patterns when the first one made previous pickups. So she would have known about this one. The importer probably let things slip in conversation with her all the time
I just seen a 1982 Chevrolet today (4/Sep/24)... here in the UK, not in pristine condition but pretty good for it's age, driven by a young lad (I'de say about 25 year old) - I told him to look after it, and that it was a classic, worth money . . . I'm not sure he really understood that, but I hope so .

“You alright? Lucky!” Dan’s never misses with those hip shots. Imagine if he actually aimed his gun.

Great series from a time when automakers had nothing to be ashamed of
Mattews traipsing uphill and downhill through the underbrush like a bull in a china shop. Oh what fun!
At 19:47 the blonde describes Daryl to Mathews as having white hair and a mustache. His hair is jet black when he is shot later at the road block!

Mathews revolver has the muzzle velocity of a slingshot, and couldn't hit the wall of a barn from inside the barn.
An awesome episode, though, one of the most violent ones I have seen, those robbers were real hoods
@23:45 Mathews moves cat-like towards his objective
Mountain. Goat mathews
The second secretary was an obvious suspect the second Mathews went in asking questions. She would have seen the patterns when the first one made previous pickups. So she would have known about this one. The importer probably let things slip in conversation with her all the time
Cool v dub oval at t.he curb
18:12 What the hell?! He hits the car. You're gonna have to pay for that pal! ..Hahaha
Nobody hit a car. Whatchoo talkin bout?
This episode fits the IMDB cast and plot of 4x19 Gem Robbery (2)Either IMDB is wrong or this is misnamed
Just went through the same thing trying to figure out if I knew Rita from something. Looks like it is indeed "Gem Robbery".
Fred Flintstones wife sounded a lot like the crooked secretary.
i bet the blond was the master mind
Gray 4 door sedan......same car in an earlier episode except that was a 59 ford,not a parade float.
17:15 Here, Dan barks the address "1729 Front Street" into the speaker. That's Ramanujan's famous taxi cab number, 1729. Much kudos to Highway Patrol!
I just seen a 1982 Chevrolet today (4/Sep/24)... here in the UK, not in pristine condition but pretty good for it's age, driven by a young lad (I'de say about 25 year old) - I told him to look after it, and that it was a classic, worth money . . . I'm not sure he really understood that, but I hope so .
