I was born in 1954, I loved that I lived in this era, it has to be the best ever, loving this series, the cars, clothes and just the way the people are.
Reality Check: This episode was made in 1956. I would say Cathy,the little girl,was about 6 years old. In 2020,she would now be 70 years old and collecting Social Security. We are only here for a split second in space time folks,live every day to it's fullest,the Good Lord will be coming soon.Stay safe,best of health to you and yours.
Born 1948 , One of the hardest working child actresses of the 1950s, Mimi Gibson earned over $100,000 (in 1963 dollars) from appearances in 35 movies and over 100 Television Shows. Her mother took Mimi and her sister to Los Angeles after her father's death when she was a baby. Her mother lived off her acting income. When Mimi turned 18 she found out that all her earnings were gone. At the age of 20 she had become very angry and upset. She skipped getting a college degree and got married to get away from her mother. She reconciled with her mother a few years later but the experience has bothered her ever since. She is presently active in the Screen Actor's Guild and A Minor Consideration and has pushed for revisions in Coogan's Law that assures actors retain a substantial portion of their income.
@@davidbrown-xk8zl It's one of my favorite episodes. Some as you likely know deal with the human interest side of life instead of crime. My parents were generally OK but I wish they showed the love toward me that the mother in this episode shows to her daughter.
This episode was obviously filmed in 1956 and sat on the shelf for a few months as there are no 1957 cars in it. Good episode, kind of a cat & mouse chase. Seeing the old full service stations really brings back memories.
You were nervous, so was I, and at 61 I think I've seen quite a few things in my life! Agreed, the script, acting and suspense build-up are excellent. Perhaps one of the best episodes in the first 78 shows of HP, and without a single shot fired!

Treasure Trove of Dan's best-"You said a mouthful" "I want the whole works" and finally-""Search all the food joints,the high class to the one arm joints!" What is a one arm food joint?? And what six year old wouldn't SCREAM when Dr. Smith loads up the hypo in front of her???
The term "one arm joint" goes back to the turn of the last century when many fast food lunch joints introduced chairs with sidearms for solitary diners, who previously ate standing up at the counter. The seating was deliberately uncomfortable to discourage lingering. It was meant for the in-and-out, quick bite crowd and the fare was basic and cheap.
Well paced and well acted episode. Rabies is a bad disease. If not treated, it's 100% lethal. Good use of the radio warnings which came too late for the mother. Little girl played her part well and Crawford was excellent with his underlying sense of desperation. It seemed real! And those cars! That hood ornament on Matthews car would be worth a lot all by itself. Too bad Chrysler gave up the DeSoto line. It was a good line back then. Most station wagons are nondescript, but this one had class.
Joe Chrysler dropped the Desoto because it was too much like the Chrysler and wasn't selling. My dad had a 1948 Desoto Custom Deluxe. was a neat car, rode well and when it came time to get another car, my dad got a 53 Plymouth. He sold the Desoto for $100 . only paid $50 for the Plymouth.
Crawford acts real squeamish when Doc describes the disease, real worried when he looks everywhere for the girl, and real tender when he has her in his arms. Let the idiots cackle about his booze addiction. This guy was a thoroughbred ACTOR, and he projected an admirable, manly, strong yet compassionate persona, which would make a much needed role-model today. Who cares about his personal so-called shortcomings?
Back then, maybe now, the rabies treatment was a series of, I think, seven shots, one per day, administered through the abdominal wall. The needle was/is about 9cm long.
I think there is a 10 day incubation period. My dog bit a little girl once and the dog had to be quarantined and watched for symptoms. If the dog got sick the little girl would have to have the series of shots.
If I'm remembering right they dont give the shots in the abdomen any more. And it's fewer shots now. Humans can and are given rabies vaccine. Vets and others at high risk of exposure.
This is more of a "public message" or "informational" episode, rather than pure entertainment. They should have had one like this about the dangers of smoking :)
A kid her age today not in a child safety seat and you're getting pulled over, ticketed and who knows what else. How did we survive all those rides in cars without those seats? You know, with all the safety devices today,and trackers it boggles ones mind when you think how did the human race survive. Duh, Common Sense,which seems to have been lost somewhere along the way today.
ZoneFighter1 You left out playing in the dirt and getting dirty,and little girls played with dolls and boys played with trucks. I played with Matchbox cars too. Alot of girls did,but the boys never played with dolls. You never see a little girl with a doll anymore.All this gender neutral stuff is bullshit. Not telling the child they are a boy or girl and letting them figure it out is bullshit too. Do they allow them to figure out how to use the toilet and eat correctly too? These gender neutral idiots let their children raise themselves I guess. Look at society, it seems to be so.Oh, I remember paying a dime for a coke. A quarter would get us a bag of chips,or candy bar,a coke and change for some penny candy. We also had a store in the late 1960's-early 1970's. It was in a village in Pennsylvania and was so good, it was known coast to coast and ALL the Hippies stopped. One morning in the late 1990's we were watching CBS Sunday Morning. There was a story about a man who bought a place in San Francisco. He found boxes of recordings in the basement. Some were by some who became famous,others were nobody's. One they played had a song about driving coast to coast and stopping in Marlin,Pennsylvania and heading to Marie's Superette. That was our store,and I wish I could have recorded it. We were having coffee and smoking a joint when we heard it. Imagine how excited I was. Sometimes we are reminded it is a small world.
ZoneFighter1 I agree. I have an older bottle opener here too. I use it too. There are things Our Father gave us and man has made it illegal and brainwashed so many against it. Once Saffron was outlawed too. A cooking spice, come on. Man, these people need to stop outlawing the good things and go after the bad. You should read my facebook page about two different deadly drugs, One is flakka also called gravel. Go and read about it. You will be shocked and horrified when you read what that does to people, and elephant tranquilizer too.
I love some of those hand me downs, like the first things your folks give you when you move out. I also have a Falstaff bottle opener, when i got my first place, it was one of the things my parents sent me off with, and it was darn handy
Les Dabney Yes, I remember those days well. You know, without all these safety features and all this other crap spewed out b educated idiots, it's a wonder the human race has made it this far. It wasn't but a few weeks ago the news had a story about a baby who was in her car seat, and thrown out of the car, out of the car seat, and through these grates covering a storm drain. Thankfully she was unhurt and waiting for someone to get her. She wasn't even crying. Now there is proof nothing is foolproof. How she fit through those grates without a scratch is a true miracle. Anyone who doesn't believe in Our Father should have seen that grate. She could have been killed hitting that alone. We rode in the beds of pick up's drank out of the garden hoses, and all that too is a no~no today. They pump our food supply with poisons,and wonder why there is so many with autism and adults losing their minds when they get elderly, cancers, all this is running rampant,yet before all the educated idiots got involved, it wasn't this bad. You spank a child you go to jail because violence begats violence yet we have no one disciplining the kids,and violence is normal today. When children got taken to the "wood shed" there was far less violence, more respect, so things like medicines and medical advances are great today,but the cost is so high, only the elite rich can afford them,but the advances are good. The rest, the educated idiots need to shut up already. I can go on and on,but I have a feeling I'd be preaching to the choir. haha
When my little daughter was about 2 years old she was playing outside on the sidewalk. A stray dog 🐶 went up to her and she tried to pet him or hit him. Anyway, he snapped at her and got her on her cheek, just about where that little girl got bit. I barely broke the skin. The dog ran off. We took her to the doctor and he said that although we didn’t know if the dog was rabid, just to make sure he recommended that she be given the shots just to be on the safe side. The men had searched for the dog 🐶 and found him but unfortunately they had either knocked or shot him in the head so it couldn’t be determined where he was rabid or not although he didn’t appear to have been vicious. Anyway, my little daughter had to have a shot in her stomach every day for 13 days. They made her little stomach so hard and sore but she was so brave and never cried. She was just always ready for her daddy to take her to the doctor to get her daily shot. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
From what I have discerned, there is an alternative antirabies serum to the Pasteur in-your-stomach serum. The alternative serum, I understand, is less painful.
The guy works in a gas station and he didn't know the make of a car? Gas stations had oil company manuals showing the years and makes of every car as well as their lubrication points so you could do a lube job on them. Mathews should have told the attendant to look in his manual and then he might have been able to identify that "55 Desoto wagon. And mumsy should have known that the kid would need a rabies shot.
If you watch many of these old shows, you'll discover they never mention the brand name of cars. I assume it has to do with advertising contracts and such.
Loving this. One of the decent shows. Good to hear the dialogue…. I’ve been using “filling stations” forever. To me it will always be that, not service or gas station.
Good episode more human interest than dealing with the criminals. The 56 Buick was a Special model not a Century. In 56 Buick increased the cubic inches in the Special to the Centuries 322 but the Century was still more powerful with higher compression and 4 bbl carb as opposed to a 2 bl in the Special.
@@glennso47 You are right. Buick's inline/straight 8 was last seen in the 1953 Special. Super, Roadmaster and Skylark models had the new V-8 engine for 1953.
Whenever I see a rabies story, I repeat the old line. A man goes to his doctor and told he had been bitten by a rabid dog. The man starts to write, the Doctor said, you do not need to write your will, we have a cure for rabies. The man answers "this is not a will, it is a list of people I want to bite"
Great director for Doc saying open your sweater and not including the screams from stomach shots back then.Why leave her car? She could have followed Dan with the Doc in her car.
Probably did rub on some wax and left it one to reduce sun glare while filming. Much like if you watch the Andy Griffith shows the patrol cars were wet sanded on the black paint to dull them out for the same reason.
The time frame of this movie would have meant a long needle to the stomach. 21 shots in total can’t remember the shot schedule. Now days it is not as bad.
WHY in this series do they constantly get in the wrong side of the car? Driver gets in the passenger side, passenger gets in on the driver side?!? Mr. Matthews even does it and sends the perps into the front passenger seat. Was that a 1950's thing? I was a child in that era and we didn't do it???
John, That's the way it was back then. I had a 1950 Ford pick up an F-2 3/4 ton and it only had a key lock on the passenger side. You open the passenger door and slid across to the driver side.
I have seen that in lots of movies. I think people did that so they didn't have to step out in front of traffic. And the seat were such big comfy bench seat, they just bounced over to the driver's side.
Why would the script writers have Matthew's say (at 22:30-50) "I sure hope this lady doesn't take to a life of crime"...?? What the heck? Just because she didn't plan out her vacation and wanted to take it moment by moment?
9:56 See the CONELRAD markers on the AM dial? No roadblocks? For shame, Dan 11:04 Big radial airplane engine in the background. DC-6, DC-7? How did you miss the car on the way up, Dan? That service station owner is in deep shit for not vaccinating his dog.
I had to get rabies shots when I was kid because I was bit by a squirrel...many years( and lots bites more) I realized it was ridiculous...I mean you don't always need them just because you were bit or scratched by an animal.
Now this was a gripping account of a race to save a little girl's life. I want to ask you young men who may aspire to be Peace Officers: Every day now its in the news about police beating, tasering or shooting innocent people to death. Is that the kind of police officer YOU want to be, a MENACE to society? OR do you have what it takes to be a real Peace Officer like the men who were portrayed in this program? An officer who SAVES life and property, even at the risk of his own? America has begun to seriously DISTRUST all Law Enforcement because of criminal abuse of innocent citizens by a number of rogue officers. Why not become a HERO? Why not become an HONEST COP American people can depend on? Why don't you REFUSE to believe the American people are all criminals, and instead SERVE your own countrymen and WORK every day to save those in trouble like the little girl in the story? ITS YOUR CHOICE.
@Nuclear Christian the Rotten Corrupt Miserable Pricks are just as corrupt as any other police in the world. If only we had cops like in this show here in Canada.
It isn't that simple. They have to take the situations that are sent to them or as they come across them. They don't get to choose whether they get to save a little girl from rabies or shoot or tase a violent criminal. Today, the chances of an arrestee resisting with violence are much greater than they were back then. Back then, a violent arrestee often was introduced to Mr Club, Mr Blackjack, or Mr Fist, and woke up the next day with a bad headache or hurting all over. These suspects got what they deserved and there wasn't some jerk taking video of the situation as there is today for everyone to boo hoo about. Today, those resisting deserve it too, but there is always someone excusing their violence and saying the cop was wrong, especially for certain groups that are more prone to resist arrest with violence. There is overall, far less respect for law and order. On the flip side, today's laws and legal system has made "criminals" out of more everyday people because they ran afoul of an ever increasing number of new laws. Congress and state legislatures have gotten absolutely crazy with felonizing every imaginable crime. Dozens of things that were not "crimes" 65 years ago, today have been turned into crimes by our lawmakers. People grow tired of being harassed over minor things that often are victimless crimes. No seatbelt, you get a ticket. Smoking or drinking at 18, you get a ticket or jail. No inspection sticker, you get a ticket. There are many others, but you get the idea. Then admittedly, so many cops today are absolute cowards compared to back then. The "Coward of Broward" who let a high school get shot up as he waited outside. The Uvalde, TX cowards who waited outside as a shooter killed kids and teachers inside. Many fear anyone with a gun who is not a uniformed cop. Sadly, I have even heard of some who feared fellow uniformed cops from different departments. Too many fear legally armed citizens. It is shameful.
I was born in 55 this was better time today in ways the world changed in nov63 when JFK was killed and Ike started interstate system driving was alot different today my 2016 Tesla model s have 1957 Chevy and 1916 model t Ford driving old cars brings back feeling old times the drive in movies. The drive up dairy queen when I go there in my Tesla I feel out place. I went home bought back my Chevy station wagon put cot in then we laid down watched to movies maid us feel like highschool days the Chevy then was uncool being a wagon instead of convertible the same drive in reopened they show films when theatres was closed her and I had packed lunch
Please teach yourself about homonyms and homophones Richard. Words such as "made" vs "maid". And learn that _Alot_ is a town in India and _a lot_ means more than one of something.
My 'first' was a '56 Ford Customline Ranch Wagon with 312, Ford-O-Matic, 'factory air'. Ranch Wagon was Ford's 2 door wagon, I called it my 'poor man's Nomad.
Most of these story's are A culmination of something but this one is just a branch from a little dog and all the contacts it made how it had been infected?
These were short episodes, dealing with justice-making and public service. There was no time to develop any mawkish amorousness. Future, less virile series (such as Columbo) would deal with "subjectivity" and "feelings". HP is the real deal!
Once symptoms show you're dead, thats true now as it was in 1956/7...I enjoy watching Highway Patrol but this episode gives a completely erroneous view of Rabies where a doctor gives you a quick jab and you are cured... nothing is further from the truth.

From what I have discerned, there is an alternative antirabies serum to the Pasteur in-your-stomach serum. The alternative serum, I understand, is less painful.
I feel bad for the poor little dog.
This eisode is filled with Dan’s quips..it’s great
Damn, even the little kids were polite in those days!
I have 14 year old girls and their both polite it's how their raised.
I would submit that Less exposure to
Gangsters and Rap music would serve
Our Children and our Nation Well💯😋
Folks in 'those days' didn't say DAMN around their kids.

No shit?😁
Superb episode.
You're right. There's such a leisurely pace to it despite the urgency. Very nice viewing
The 1956 DeSoto Firedome Station Wagon is nice.
Euro 98 Saved.

same dog in wizard of OZ.
Toto, was dyed black at the request of the Director of OZ.
The dog, if it were the same, would’ve been at least 17 years old when this was filmed...
"Toto" died in 1945.
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, are you?
The guy works in a gas station and he didn't know the make of a car? Gas stations had oil company manuals showing the years and makes of every car as well as their lubrication points so you could do a lube job on them. Mathews should have told the attendant to look in his manual and then he might have been able to identify that "55 Desoto wagon. And mumsy should have known that the kid would need a rabies shot.
If you watch many of these old shows, you'll discover they never mention the brand name of cars. I assume it has to do with advertising contracts and such.
The DeSoto wagon was actually a '56.
He couldn’t say the car make because of the advertisers and contracts etc.! This series NEVER mentions the MAKE of ANY CAR.!
The Desoto probably had a hemi in it.
@@stevenj8628 That's right, a '56 Firedome
Matthews was always good to the kids.
This is what television shows should be about.
Real-life lessons. Good, bad or otherwise.
No profanity here.....❤
Loving this. One of the decent shows. Good to hear the dialogue…. I’ve been using “filling stations” forever. To me it will always be that, not service or gas station.
Good episode more human interest than dealing with the criminals. The 56 Buick was a Special model not a Century. In 56 Buick increased the cubic inches in the Special to the Centuries 322 but the Century was still more powerful with higher compression and 4 bbl carb as opposed to a 2 bl in the Special.
220 HP in the Special, 255 HP in the Century (and in the Super, and in the Roadmaster series). All are 322 CID Nailhead V-8's as you confirmed.
@@jacquesgervais1713 I think the Special was available with a straight 8 engine until about 1953-54.
@@glennso47 You are right. Buick's inline/straight 8 was last seen in the 1953 Special. Super, Roadmaster and Skylark models had the new V-8 engine for 1953.
@1:37
LOL, that cute little dog wouldn´t harm a fly.
I know he was like ? I didn't bite shit!?
But he might harm a person.
The old lady in the window looks like the hostess of Ding Dong School tv show from Chicago back in the day. Ms. Frances.
Buick 3 on the tree
The 3 speed was better than the 2 speed dynoflow that thing was s l o w after you got going it was ok though
This episode had me a worried sick. If they hadn’t gotten to that little girl in time, it could have ended badly for her.
Whenever I see a rabies story, I repeat the old line. A man goes to his doctor and told he had been bitten by a rabid dog. The man starts to write, the Doctor said, you do not need to write your will, we have a cure for rabies. The man answers "this is not a will, it is a list of people I want to bite"
I never heard that one.
Good one LOL
Actually, there is NO cure for rabies.
A couple of candy bars for a dime. Good deal
And a dime bag for a nickle..................
İnflation since then has increased prices by about 20 times.
Now you can’t even get one candy bar for a dollar.
Oh those cars. I miss them…always liked the old tanks… the bigger the better and prefer bench seats.!
One of my favorites, thanks.
Great director for Doc saying open your sweater and not including the screams from stomach shots back then.Why leave her car? She could have followed Dan with the Doc in her car.
HAHAhA! "High class places to one arm joints" hahahah
Obviously the mum wasn't using mercurochrome as the antiseptic. That would have hurt...
Merthiolate was worse.
Dan is beating the heck outta that police car.
Peeling out all over the road and pulling hole shots at every turn
That's our Dan..................
Dan squeals his tyres every time he drives off.
All on bias ply tires.
Waxene is in KS....CLEANING SUPPLIES . Just Googled them.
It was on a wicked binge-watch of Highway Patrol that it struck me, Dan Walks Like a constipated penguin.
14:55 she had no idea how close she was to taking her headlight out there
The mother is a beauty.
11:30 .................... What's with the paint on the roof of that H.P. car? It looks as though someone began to wax it and gave up.
Probably did rub on some wax and left it one to reduce sun glare while filming. Much like if you watch the Andy Griffith shows the patrol cars were wet sanded on the black paint to dull them out for the same reason.
I see Griffith Observatory at 16:47...they way back in the park in this episode.
4:35 That's Rudy Solari, who played the character of Casino on the TV series " Garrison's Gorillas"!
The Brunette mother was smoking hot!
Cracking episode
The time frame of this movie would have meant a long needle to the stomach. 21 shots in total can’t remember the shot schedule. Now days it is not as bad.
Filling station attendent looks a lot like a young James Farentino
Actually, he's Rudy Solari who played Casino in the TV series " Garrison's Gorillas ".
17:50 On this show they sure dig filming cars backing up and turning around.!
And doing roadblocks.
Outstanding!
The little girl is a great actress.
Thank you
Did the needle go right in her chest?
I recall rabies shots were done that way.And they were painful.
Calm down Dan ! We'll find her . O.K. ? As long as you've got your trusty Buick, all will be just fine .
Child actress Mimi Gibson from movie , The Monster That Challenged the World (1957) proves Baby Boomers were tough in the fight against house pests...
WHY in this series do they constantly get in the wrong side of the car? Driver gets in the passenger side, passenger gets in on the driver side?!? Mr. Matthews even does it and sends the perps into the front passenger seat. Was that a 1950's thing? I was a child in that era and we didn't do it???
I think its a filming thing
John,
That's the way it was back then.
I had a 1950 Ford pick up an F-2 3/4 ton and it only had a key lock on the passenger side. You open the passenger door and slid across to the driver side.
They do that on Andy Griffith,, 2, lazy to walk around,,,
@@ypop417 Did you or anyone notice when the woman, Turned off the motor in her wagon,,
The radio was still playing,,, Radio would have went off,
I have seen that in lots of movies. I think people did that so they didn't have to step out in front of traffic. And the seat were such big comfy bench seat, they just bounced over to the driver's side.
Good outcome.
I knew someone who was a policeman in training or something like this. There was one case of a rabid skunk, which they left to the second shift.
@ 10:26-- 0nly am radios back then, no stereo or CD players.
Young people back then added a second speaker in back and had reverb. It is like an echo kind of thing between the speakers.
The radio wasn't even tuned to the rock 'n' roll station!
Gregg me...yep and they were cool! Especially the way the delay springs bounced on bumpy roads and added that extra dimension.
And A&W drive-ins with frozen glass mugs.................
@@gregg1ize My '59 Impala had a 'factory' rear seat speaker, no reverb.
Why would the script writers have Matthew's say (at 22:30-50) "I sure hope this lady doesn't take to a life of crime"...?? What the heck? Just because she didn't plan out her vacation and wanted to take it moment by moment?
Because they would never catch her. They couldn't figure her next move.
HAHAHA! @ Certain points! The daughter was smarter than the mother.
9:56 See the CONELRAD markers on the AM dial?
No roadblocks? For shame, Dan
11:04 Big radial airplane engine in the background. DC-6, DC-7?
How did you miss the car on the way up, Dan?
That service station owner is in deep shit for not vaccinating his dog.
And I've told you before Mr.Mathews , it's the CAR that kills , never the driver ,they are always innocent , ask any driver who has had an accident !
Just plain great good story!!
The rabies virus has about a 3 to 4 week in incubation in humans. the exceptions are for it to be longer not shorter.
I had to get rabies shots when I was kid because I was bit by a squirrel...many years( and lots bites more) I realized it was ridiculous...I mean you don't always need them just because you were bit or scratched by an animal.
This puppy wasn't just "an animal". He was dying of rabies only three days after he bit the girl!
They just leave all the picnic stuff and drive off? Litterbugs.
Now this was a gripping account of a race to save a little girl's life.
I want to ask you young men who may aspire to be Peace Officers:
Every day now its in the news about police beating, tasering or
shooting innocent people to death. Is that the kind of police officer
YOU want to be, a MENACE to society?
OR do you have what it takes to be a real Peace Officer like the
men who were portrayed in this program? An officer who SAVES
life and property, even at the risk of his own? America has begun
to seriously DISTRUST all Law Enforcement because of criminal
abuse of innocent citizens by a number of rogue officers.
Why not become a HERO? Why not become an HONEST COP
American people can depend on? Why don't you REFUSE to
believe the American people are all criminals, and instead SERVE
your own countrymen and WORK every day to save those in
trouble like the little girl in the story? ITS YOUR CHOICE.
GooglFascists. ?
@Nuclear Christian the Rotten Corrupt Miserable Pricks are just as corrupt as any other police in the world. If only we had cops like in this show here in Canada.
It isn't that simple. They have to take the situations that are sent to them or as they come across them. They don't get to choose whether they get to save a little girl from rabies or shoot or tase a violent criminal. Today, the chances of an arrestee resisting with violence are much greater than they were back then. Back then, a violent arrestee often was introduced to Mr Club, Mr Blackjack, or Mr Fist, and woke up the next day with a bad headache or hurting all over. These suspects got what they deserved and there wasn't some jerk taking video of the situation as there is today for everyone to boo hoo about. Today, those resisting deserve it too, but there is always someone excusing their violence and saying the cop was wrong, especially for certain groups that are more prone to resist arrest with violence. There is overall, far less respect for law and order.
On the flip side, today's laws and legal system has made "criminals" out of more everyday people because they ran afoul of an ever increasing number of new laws. Congress and state legislatures have gotten absolutely crazy with felonizing every imaginable crime. Dozens of things that were not "crimes" 65 years ago, today have been turned into crimes by our lawmakers. People grow tired of being harassed over minor things that often are victimless crimes. No seatbelt, you get a ticket. Smoking or drinking at 18, you get a ticket or jail. No inspection sticker, you get a ticket. There are many others, but you get the idea. Then admittedly, so many cops today are absolute cowards compared to back then. The "Coward of Broward" who let a high school get shot up as he waited outside. The Uvalde, TX cowards who waited outside as a shooter killed kids and teachers inside. Many fear anyone with a gun who is not a uniformed cop. Sadly, I have even heard of some who feared fellow uniformed cops from different departments. Too many fear legally armed citizens. It is shameful.
HAAAA! They should retitle this show, "Police in Fantasy Land".
Rabies is no fantasy.
Griffith observatory at 10:51.
Dan's moving up, as in uptown............ Office on the 18th floor............... Go Dan, go...........
this is the first episode that I recall the background scene at his desk appears to be in a high-rise building
What a 322 nailhead buick?
Maybe a hemi ?please help in the wagon
As usual, H Patrol could have done with more staff to search, as usual they got there just in time to save the day.

Please teach yourself about homonyms and homophones Richard. Words such as "made" vs "maid". And learn that _Alot_ is a town in India and _a lot_ means more than one of something.
My 'first' was a '56 Ford Customline Ranch Wagon with 312, Ford-O-Matic, 'factory air'. Ranch Wagon was Ford's 2 door wagon, I called it my 'poor man's Nomad.

It's amazing all of the anti women remarks on this show lol!
In all the episodes of Patrol, were there every any in which Matthews showed the slightest interest in women??/
These were short episodes, dealing with justice-making and public service. There was no time to develop any mawkish amorousness. Future, less virile series (such as Columbo) would deal with "subjectivity" and "feelings". HP is the real deal!
What would have happened if the mother was an anti-voxer?
Once symptoms show you're dead, thats true now as it was in 1956/7...I enjoy watching Highway Patrol but this episode gives a completely erroneous view of Rabies where a doctor gives you a quick jab and you are cured... nothing is further from the truth.
