Huh ? You saying he moonlighted as an actor while he was a highway patrol cop? Wonder why he didn’t quit the Highway Patrol and become a full time actor? Sure he’s a good cop, but I think he has potential as an actor.

a little bit of trivia... the red-haired woman was played by Jan Shepard. Her husband in real-life is Ray Boyle, a.k.a. "Dirk London." His name is a little further down in the list of credits (he played a cop in this episode of "Highway Patrol", but he was in "Zombies of the Stratosphere" with Leonard Nimoy in 1952. Nimoy played a Martian in that early film). Ray & Jan were a married couple when this show was made and are alive and still married to each other.
Loved this series with all the outdoor filming. Very little sound stage shooting. This show was filmed in and around L.A. Did you notice any trash,empty wine bottles,tents,homeless,or gang bangers with bandanas while watching this program? So sad that the left think that this is OK.

We used them in the sixties and I still like that specific sound they make. A nice fringe benefit, as it were, of this here little film. "with female caucasion".
The train they were boarding was Southern Pacific, its routes was mostly within California and along the border with Mexico into the Southern States. For a direct route back to Chicago they should be boarding a Santa Fe train instead.
But who could resist a trip aboard a Southern Pacific Rock Island train such as the Golden State. It was the longest and slowest route compared to Santa Fe or Union Pacific. That station looks like a great place to sit around in the 1950s watching trains go by
*The actress who played "Vera Randall", the fake relative of Sgt. William's (Jan Shepard) is still alive, and is 92 years old. She also appeared in multiple episodes of Gunsmoke, as well as Perry Mason, Bonanza, Mannix, and many other shows. As for the actor who played her boyfriend (Lee Rhodes) his final appearance in TV and/or movies was in 1960 - sixty years ago. Other than for that, he completely vanished into utter obscurity.*
It's refreshing to see Ken ruffled once in a while... even if it only lasted a microsecond. And Dan's "All your aunt's relatives are creeps" is a classic closer.
This episode of highway patrol William Boyett was on the hot seat of getting fired Lt. Dan Mattews saved him. William Boyett was also on the hot seat in Adam-12 officer Pete Malloy saved him. Both were similar it was an hit and run and in broad daylight a suspect was driving dressed as an high way patrolman. Adam 12 William Boyett was driving and hit an pedtrian walking in a crosswalk speeding

Shot in Los Feliz, near Dodger Stadium. The Apartment 1:30 stills stands and looks exactly the same including the landscaping 60 years later. Tam O Shanter Inn 16:20 is still standing and is the oldest Restaurant in Los Angeles. Los Feliz Motel where the couple stayed is also still there although I wouldn't recommend it.
No, it was one of the first “themed” restaurants, built under the direction two brothers-in-law, neither of whom was of Scottish descent (surnames Frank and Van de Kamp). The whole history is detailed on the restaurant’s website: www.lawrysonline.com/tam-o-shanter/
Good ole Dan Matthews didn't catch that the lady witness first said the car came on the inside lane, then she says it came up in the outside lane. Bad eye witness testimony.
If he was aiming for the pedestrian he changed lanes?? Still Matthew's should have caught the change. But this is Hollywood and they like to mess things up!🎈🎈
Love the way these cops only fire 1 or 2 shots, with no verbal warnings, and always there is a kill. Notice this shooter-cop kneels over his kill, admiring it like a dead deer. Ah, the good old days when life was sustained on a cigarette, a cup of coffee, and a high-heeled pencil-skirted tough dame. No pesky lawyers, Miranda rights, or courts to deal with - just swift justice! Yeah, baby!
E.D. B. , They had to shoot these scenes early, since by afternoon, they had to prop Broderick up and was unable to speak his lines. Ah, the days when, if ratings were up, the lead actor could do no wrong.
@@richgall63 With the way they had him blurt out his lines in barely intelligible, obviously time-pressured frenetic "spurts" as well as doing most of the talking, it is not surprising.
The guy who drove the car that ran over the old man , was a cast member of a film circa 1957 "From Hell it came". He had the inglorious role as a member of a native tribe on a South sea island . I must admit that I didn't recognize him at first , but his voice got my attention . Although I cannot recall his name..........
I think I've seen William Boyette play one role where he wan't a police officer of some sort, he played an undercover agent who gets killed in the opening scene of an episode of "Mission: Impossible," he also plays a CHP officer in an episode of Suspense Theater too.
2150 by. Good episode. William Boyett as Ken was good in this one. Sometimes crooks think they're smart always get caught in the end. The key was the answer. Good thinking Matthews. Thanks for sharing.
The whole duplicate key narrative is based on a faulty premise. Broderick: “Well, the lab reports no sign of illegal entry”. What sign would that be? Slim-Jim the door (no marks), jump the easily accessible ignition and starter leads on the back of the ignition switch (under the dash), and off you go! -1958 Fords had no steering wheel lock. Ask me how I know (my dad had a ‘55 Ford sedan!). So simple, even a caveman could do it,,,

A great episode. As usual, Broderick was excellent. It seems like, Ken was a bit of a Romeo. On a luncheon date when his key was copied and then chatting up the redhead. Nothing wrong with that though.
Here Ken is bachelor, even flirty, and in "Suspected Cop", Dan says that he has a ten years old daughter... Time is flying... Good episode anyhow, and the blue eyes of Wilkiam Boyett, wow !
Bad driver of the 1958 Ford Custom 300, 4 door sedan just left the scene of the accident after hitting a pedestrian, that's illegal regardless what state you are in. 1957 is a last year for 2 headlights for most cars. William Boyett did not drive that car when he hit the pedestrian when that happen. William Boyett is innocent. William Boyett plays Sergeant Ken Williams on Highway Patrol from 1955 to 1959, and in Adam 12, he plays Sergeant (Max) McDonald from 1968 to 1974.
-This comment should have come in reply to one placed several comments up about Broderick "leaving the blood" of the one he gunned down but giving advice not to "leave your blood on the highway"-
Would a suspended officer suspected or a serious crime be allowed out on investigations and be privy to all evidence coming in, and be riding shotgun with the guy leading it?
Perhaps those kind of cars didn't dent easily and maybe there was no blood, but yes I thought about the part of a possible dent on the front and about the car being warm already. One dead giveaway for mother knowing that we had been watching tv while she was gone and we were supposed to be sleeping. The set was warm.
@@owseichik Not many people know those 406. We generally mention 272, 292, 312, 332, 352, 390, 427 for Ford engines in those years, NOT 406's. You know your Ford's.
Maybe not. In those days cars were not made of light metals and alloys...even plastics like now, so steel was still real steel. My brother was once hit while running across a street by a big '55 Buick...and the car suffered no damage whatsoever, whereas today hitting any pedestrian with a modern auto might total it!
M10bob is right. At age 16 right after I got my drivers license I t-boned a car with a 61 Plymouth Belvedere. Totaled it. Very little damage to my car.
What’s the brand of car at minute 10:30? It’s a cute l’il bug looking foreign job the 1959 Dodge Patrol,car is passing parked by the curb? In a world full of big ol fun tailed American iron this one just popped out at me cus it looked out of place in the US - at that time....
@@barneygilewitz1064 This a French rear engined car called "Renault Dauphine". Manufactured from 1956 to 1967. Sold 2,150,738 units. Base engine was 845cc (roughly 51.6 CID). Performance models were called Renault Dauphine "Gordini" with a 1093 cc engine (roughly 66.7 CID). Also a quick glance a Volvo PV-544 @ 17:03 .
I solved your puzzle. It was Poppy Bush watching and hoping Dan Matthews, Highway Patrol, doesn't get too close to the truth. It's always a good idea to keep a close eye on the situation. This is Broderick Crawford. Be sure to join us next week for another exciting... Highway Patrol. 🇺🇸
15:24 What's with the map of the entire US? Just how big is Matthews' jurisdiction? And is the entire Lower Mississippi River flooded? 24:30 "Hey, this ain't Amtrak, buddy. I don't care if there's been a shooting on the platform. This train leaves at 5:00pm sharp."

@@javiergilvidal1558 Well, You See,You may not be old enough, To know this,,, But even when these cars, We're brand new,,, When you start them in the morning,, You have to pump the gas, 2 or 3 times,, Before cranking,,, If he would have did that, It would have flooded the warm engine,,, Henceforth,, It would not have started,,, And a cold engine, Would have not, Shot, up out of the Garage,, So Ken, Had to know, The car was warmed up,, Because he did not pump the gas,, And he also Shot the gas, And backed up real quick, Even though the crime was already committed, It still would have told him, Someone was driving his car, And he would probably, Suspect the strange woman, That came to his house,, He is pretty good at putting 2 and 2 together,,, This does not reflect my opinion, of this wonderful show,, I just like old cars,, And know how they operate,,, lol,,,
Mr. Schlong??? I love the closed captions…
At 20:34, gotta love the old teletype!
A great episode. As usual, Broderick was excellent. It seems like, Ken was a bit of a Romeo. On a luncheon date when his key was copied and then chatting up the redhead. Nothing wrong with that though.
Watching this show again, the actress who played Vera appeared to be expecting a baby to me!
Here Ken is bachelor, even flirty, and in "Suspected Cop", Dan says that he has a ten years old daughter... Time is flying...
Good episode anyhow, and the blue eyes of Wilkiam Boyett, wow !
Sgt. MacDonald in trouble again? Lol
Season 4, Episode 21
Framed Cop (23 Feb. 1959)
Santa Dan Keeney hey Dan, how many episodes did brodrick Crawford make?
Bob M Woodin 156 According to www.imdb.com/title/tt0047739/
Broderick Crawford...
Chief Dan Mathews / ... (156 episodes, 1955-1959)
THANK YOU SIR.
Your welcome.
^^^@Santa Dan Keeney .. Wow 3 days before my birthday 1959, I was to become 1yrs old, Ha!!! :D] .v ..
Really good episode !
Bad driver of the 1958 Ford Custom 300, 4 door sedan just left the scene of the accident after hitting a pedestrian, that's illegal regardless what state you are in. 1957 is a last year for 2 headlights for most cars. William Boyett did not drive that car when he hit the pedestrian when that happen. William Boyett is innocent. William Boyett plays Sergeant Ken Williams on Highway Patrol from 1955 to 1959, and in Adam 12, he plays Sergeant (Max) McDonald from 1968 to 1974.
Duh, hence why he did it....
very good and a good lesson to be learned from today
Two cool pieces of foreign iron at 10:30 a parked two tone VW convertible in the background and a parked Renault Dauphine
*_Ken was great in this_* 🧀
Is it just me, or does Broderick Crawford never flash a badge? He just says he's with the HP, and people do whatever he says.
Oh no, he flashes the badge regularly. Usually only the first time he meets the person.
NO HE SHOWS HIS BADGE.
@17:09 = badge, plus "Dan Matthews, Highway Patrol." What more could one want from a perfect script?
I believe the perp was shot in the back after shooting at the cops, then running. Good shoot as far as I'm concerned.
-This comment should have come in reply to one placed several comments up about Broderick "leaving the blood" of the one he gunned down but giving advice not to "leave your blood on the highway"-
Would a suspended officer suspected or a serious crime be allowed out on investigations and be privy to all evidence coming in, and be riding shotgun with the guy leading it?
Hey I was born in 58, William Campbell, ooh another entire set of TH-cam videos,
Nice plot!
Leave your BLOOD at the RED CROSS, or your COMMUNITY BLOOD BANK! NOT on the HIGHWAY! #mgmlion #roar
Slightly surprised that he wouldn’t notice his ‘58 Ford sedan was not only already warmed up but dented and covered in blood…
Perhaps those kind of cars didn't dent easily and maybe there was no blood, but yes I thought about the part of a possible dent on the front and about the car being warm already. One dead giveaway for mother knowing that we had been watching tv while she was gone and we were supposed to be sleeping. The set was warm.

I thought it would show the date it first aired on tv.... Who is the bad guy?
Never seen a real 2-door marked cop car....
Just in this show.
Low budget. The budget was $25k per episode
Mass State Police were all 2 door cheap model Fords. My dream car as a youth was the cheapie 63 Ford with a 406 3 speed they used.
@@owseichik Not many people know those 406. We generally mention 272, 292, 312, 332, 352, 390, 427 for Ford engines in those years, NOT 406's. You know your Ford's.
No messing around with crooks in those days
The end of the line for Paul. (so to speak, LOL)
I think you have the key to the whole situation that is if you'll pardon the expression...
wouldn't the car have damage?
Maybe not. In those days cars were not made of light metals and alloys...even plastics like now, so steel was still real steel.
My brother was once hit while running across a street by a big '55 Buick...and the car suffered no damage whatsoever, whereas today hitting any pedestrian with a modern auto might total it!
M10bob is right. At age 16 right after I got my drivers license I t-boned a car with a 61 Plymouth Belvedere. Totaled it. Very little damage to my car.
What’s the brand of car at minute 10:30? It’s a cute l’il bug looking foreign job the 1959 Dodge Patrol,car is passing parked by the curb? In a world full of big ol fun tailed American iron this one just popped out at me cus it looked out of place in the US - at that time....
@@barneygilewitz1064 This a French rear engined car called "Renault Dauphine". Manufactured from 1956 to 1967. Sold 2,150,738 units. Base engine was 845cc (roughly 51.6 CID). Performance models were called Renault Dauphine "Gordini" with a 1093 cc engine (roughly 66.7 CID). Also a quick glance a Volvo PV-544 @ 17:03 .

You wanna know something Ken?….your Aunt Audrey’s relatives are creeps…😂😂😂
@ 3:43 Corner of Price and Hillhurst, Los Feliz area LA.
William boyett also played the head police Sargent on Adam 12
18:38 Anyone catch the guy across the street leaning against the tree? Humphrey Bogart from *The Treasure of the Sierra Madre* no doubt. 😜
I solved your puzzle. It was Poppy Bush watching and hoping Dan Matthews, Highway Patrol, doesn't get too close to the truth.
It's always a good idea to keep a close eye on the situation.
This is Broderick Crawford.
Be sure to join us next week for another exciting...
Highway Patrol.
🇺🇸
LOL!
That train wasn't waiting around🤣
Ken was able to keep his date with the redhead & have Conjugal visit with her in the jail cell
15:24 What's with the map of the entire US? Just how big is Matthews' jurisdiction? And is the entire Lower Mississippi River flooded?
24:30 "Hey, this ain't Amtrak, buddy. I don't care if there's been a shooting on the platform. This train leaves at 5:00pm sharp."
Maybe it's just for decoration. In Japan, when the bell rang in the train station and your were not on the train.... you were not on it.
boy, the train was quick...
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Realistically portrayed citizens/criminals/law enforcement officials. Enjoy viewing👀 cars /police communications equipment/train depot of that era-!!!🤗.
This show has great cars, the '58 Chev sure was a plain Jane when compared to a '58 Desoto.
Wow…Mac McDonald is in deep sh*t now…lol
Sweet looking gal. Jan Shepard her name.
Mr. schlong?
Highway Patrol work can be as tough and life threatening as any law enforcement job.
