What the he'll were you doing with that 38 Smith and Wesson? You were not neither law enforcement nor military. You sound like a sicko playing with a gun and firing it all day long. Once someone else gets one of your ricochet bullets you then want pity and have the nerve and audacity to beg for mercy and say you are sorry. You and your negligent father belong in maximum security prison for the criminally insane.
That was hilarious! I almost thought that was part of the episode, but that's not the way the broadcast TV stations did that type of test in those days!
Like the '57 Ford panel. It has a 272 or 292 (Y block) and either a 3 speed on the tree or 4 on the floor. I remember they used to whine like it does here.
Still wondering why Brod is always referred to as "Mr.Mathews" never by rank. Really odd. Also, Dan's shooting stance, hand grip is great. Shoot from the hip with a 2 inch barrel and never miss his target.
Don't you just love the way Matthew shows such cavalier disregard for the criminals safety when he whips out his microphone and radios the CHP roadblock?
Mr. Brod was referred to a Mr. Matthews probably because he made himself so available and was ready to solve a case. He did what was expected of a law officer and as quickly as he could. People care about what gets done not your rank!!
Great history of the LA smog basin; can't see beyond several hundred yards. On a clear day (e.g. Santa Ana winds) you could see the city of LA. Been there, lived it-- 1946-1970.
I have what could have been a great ending for this episode. Let the bandits pack their caps in their getaway car and drive away. Then Dan Matthews merely uses his 2150 radio and the car blows up!! HAHAHA!! Too bad Frederick Ziv was always on such a tight budget!
YES! I had the same thought exactly. It would have been perfect. But - in the 50's there was still some sense that murder is not justice - not legally anyway.
Not the tight budget which prevented fireworks from the care blowing up. It was a family show and blowing up stuff wasn't in line with with family values. No blood, no gore, no blowing stuff up. They didn't even show blood or a dead person, viewers just had to imagine it. I kept waiting for the caps to go off and a loud boom even though I knew they wouldn't, not in this show. Too bad. Would have made a terrific first time on television cop show way to end criminal. Oh well, enough of that now to make up for any lost time doing it back then.
@Brian Salomon ........Hey, that's a TACTICAL AR38 snubnose. Only cops could have em. California was a bit more gun friendly then. Before the Gunaopocalipse.
The Colt Detective Special and Smith and Wesson Model 36 and their variants are actually very accurate guns. At the factory, the fixed sights of both guns are calibrated to 50 yards and will shoot 1.5 to 2 inch groups using 158 grain ammunition. True, they use a remote trigger servo and a special jig to hold the guns and fire them test firing and the guns themselves are capable the mechanical accuracy without the human element. Most of us mere mortals can hit those same groups at 25 yards with practice though.
That emergency signal went perfect with the movie. I thought it was the radio broadcast in the movie alerting the thieves about the dynamite going off if they get near a radio. Once again, those poor sedans are getting a bad rap in being used for criminal activity.

They really covered up that sign at "ALMER'S MARKET" (PALMER'S with the 'P' covered in white.) Most of the rest of the sign had its letters covered in black. But they had Hamm's beer!
Dynamite and caps stored in the same room. They are supposed to be in a reinforced steel box and at least 50 feet apart. Newer caps have a shunt in them so they won't go off so easily. pretty good jazz the crooks had on the radio. 100%Ammonium nitrate has about half the power of 40% nitro dynamite , 40% would be pretty low grade stuff, not much stronger than fireworks.
Written so a baby born in 1945 war baby could follow the plot and story lesson at 10 years old or so in 1955 ....simple and effective a better time for most in the USA
Written for those who believe a goat can eat dynamite and then explode if Barney Fife kicked it.Inside that solid metal car's trunk a radio parked a foot away wouldn't set anything off.

My Dad was not the smartest man . He did train as a radio operator in world war two. So he knew the difference between a transmitter and a receiver . Still when they were still blasting the rock in northern Ontario Canada the signs would say do not use radio transmitters . The man would freak really freak out if I turned on the AM radio in the car or even asked him to turn on the radio . The guy was so up tight about everything . No wonder he died of a heart attack
@@jerryw6699 Thats right. If you were to give a 20 yr old today a ride in a car like that he would be amazed. Since he has never experience a really smooth ride. The cars now, even the most expensive ones ride like a soap box derby car.

The box is turned around as there was no circular staying in the center of the box so the one with the bullet hole is the reverse side of the box with the whole put in it
I guess it never occured to the crooks to hide the dynamite and caps away from each other out in open terrain somewhere. There's nothing but mountains and woods around them.
This must be a continuation of the period that 2150's license was revoked for DWI. I've noticed a couple of episodes where he rides shotgun and is not seen driving like usual.
Radio controlled detonators are on a very specific frequency and would not go off with the wrong frequency. The criminals weren't using the radio detonators in any case, they could have thrown them away.
I don't know about that. The crookedest of them all, the Hag Of Chappaqua, never manages to look better than a bag lady. Often it looks as though she's wearing her dirty bed sheets from the previous week.
@socal rocks You're about 2 and 1/2 half years too late there, son. The consumate gangster and traitor had a skinny ass and disgraced the Oval Office and the nation for 8 long years. Before him, G W Bush was the worst president in American history. But the Chicago flim-flam artist and fake intellectual "professor" saved Bush from that obliquey.
They show up to question a guy that may know something, knock once and three seconds later kick down his door and begin searching without a warrant. Guess the Constitution didn't apply back then...
would not see many directors or supervisors out in the field as Mr. Matthews. Should show this to all businesses and corporations today....just might improve retention rates and recruitment
Three knocks then BAM! Barely enough time for someone to answer. The person would have been knocked on their ass. Imagine if it was the wrong apartment.
Sort of an early Gilligan's Island.....every potential future actress made an appearance.We're all doing our........best,total waste of feminine guile and sex appeal Dan was all business.
No. Dan used a silencer and then took it off his revolver quick as can be. He has other great police talents as well like switching car models while en route to a crime. Bad guys simply don't stand a chance when Dan is around!
Screen writers were sleeping here ! First...those radio controlled detonator caps are very frequency oriented[ within a few cycles ] or they would be blowing up everything except what they were designed to detonate ! Every commercial radio station in the county would be setting them off ! They would NOT be safe to use. and second...to render them useless...bury them !!! and keep them away from the dynamite !..in storage. .they were sitting in boxes right on top of the dynamite ? yikes !

During this series Broderick Crawford was drunk by most afternoons of filming. A very hard drinker even though the staff tried to keep him sober as long as possible shooting most of his scenes in the morning. He would bribe set people to sneak in alcohol. He was often stopped drunk by the CHP and it became sort of a running joke. This was a time when drunk driving of anyone who was anyone was tolerated by the police. It wasn't until the late 70's that MADD finally started getting the laws changed and the police embarrassed enough to be more serious about drunk driving.
@socal rocks The only rocks you've got are all in your head. Trump is the best thing to happen to America since Lincoln. He has gone a long way toward undoing the damage done by the thieves, traitors, sexual freaks, murderers, and half-wits who make the Democrat Party, especially the affirmative action flim-flam artist from Chicago, the fake Harvard prof who thinks there are 57 states in the Union.
Our first suicide bombers? What's w/ the leather coats, boys? I think KTLA was the L.A. TV channel that this series was broadcast on! It woulda' been cool if, just after leaving the gas station - KA-BOOM!
24 blasting caps went off in the hands of a squad leader in my infantry platoon due to a jeep radio while we were having a class on setting shape charges in Germany. lost both hands and eyes and unmentionables. He was to be married in two weeks.
I laughed so F--- hard when the Emergency Broadcast signal of KTLA during the important phone call. But I am on a Highway Patrol streak for the last year . been watching on TV just searched for the TH-cam episodes. Ironic Ending to this story,... Reminds me of the time I had to walk to the fire at the farm down the road. I was so happy to get back home to my bicycle..

My dad had a 38 police special ,I became very good with it loved shooting it. You could fire it all day long , it would never misfire or jam.beautiful weapon. SMITH&WESSON..
Revolvers rarely jam, and .38 was effective at close range only.
No one is good shooting a 38
I remember as a kid an episode when Matthews borrowed a Patrolman’s for a long shot.
Revolvers are safe. All one has to do is look to see if it's loaded or not and no hidden rounds anywhere.
What the he'll were you doing with that 38 Smith and Wesson? You were not neither law enforcement nor military. You sound like a sicko playing with a gun and firing it all day long.

@@OPUS390 True that.

Same here.
Can't call for an ambulance too close to the detonators wait here for the ambulance.
Now that's funny!
They couldn't remake this show now days. Too many drama people in it would ruin the story.
6:33 It was so smart of that security guard to play possum. If he had tried to stop the thieves, they probably would've just killed him.

No way to a remake! 👎
Once all the usual political indoctrination was installed, you wouldn’t recognize it.
Karl. Who would you use as the actors in the remake? Jack Nicholson as Matthews?
Cars suspension was tuff like a 1/2 ton pickup back then.
Also the crooks need to work on their panel truck clutch skills.
Okay 17:22 is just serendipity with the EAS popping on for the required test.

I guess it never occured to the crooks to hide the dynamite and caps away from each other out in open terrain somewhere. There's nothing but mountains and woods around them.
They would have never gone off in the trunk, the metal acts as a Faraday cage.
One would think the crook who gets to wear the Captain’s hat would be in charge.🤷🏻♂️
highway patrol headquarters.....
also known as the
Walnut Cafe.
RECKLESS DRIVING DOESN'T DETERMINE who's RIGHT! ONLY WHO'S LEFT! #mgmlion #roar
Reckless driving and war...
This must be a continuation of the period that 2150's license was revoked for DWI. I've noticed a couple of episodes where he rides shotgun and is not seen driving like usual.
Dan sometimes needs to ride shotgun so his bloodhound nose can concentrate more on the scent than driving...................
Always a good looking dispatcher for Dan.
The security guard looked like Woody Harrelson’s dad. He was one old coot.
Famous last words, "I know what I'm doing."😂 That dispatch gal was a looker.❤
Ken Drake from Seahunt! I see Mr negativity made a vague reference to that point but just in case 🤔
The same panel truck was also seen in the "credit card" episode, again used by a pair of bad guys.
I was waiting for Mathews to key up his two way and blow that punk to smitherines!Oh WellMaybe next episode
smithereens
Love these old one's and anyone who doesn't is crazy did everyone see the way that the crook died lol thanks for posting
Radio controlled detonators are on a very specific frequency and would not go off with the wrong frequency. The criminals weren't using the radio detonators in any case, they could have thrown them away.
I like these neatly dressed clean-cut crooks. They sure dress ugly today except the Politicians. Ha!
+MICHAEL DAVIS Yeah the worst crooks, the freemasons.
I don't know about that. The crookedest of them all, the Hag Of Chappaqua, never manages to look better than a bag lady. Often it looks as though she's wearing her dirty bed sheets from the previous week.
@socal rocks You're about 2 and 1/2 half years too late there, son. The consumate gangster and traitor had a skinny ass and disgraced the Oval Office and the nation for 8 long years. Before him, G W Bush was the worst president in American history. But the Chicago flim-flam artist and fake intellectual "professor" saved Bush from that obliquey.
@socal rocks No...the real crook was "Obama". SoCal sucks.
@socal rocks Mark my words. Trump will be remembered as one of the most important presidents. Obamo will be remembered as weak and a failure.
Is that road perhaps Hullholland dr.?
17:22 Nothing like an EAS test to interrupt Highway Patrol, 10-4?
They show up to question a guy that may know something, knock once and three seconds later kick down his door and begin searching without a warrant.
Guess the Constitution didn't apply back then...
would not see many directors or supervisors out in the field as Mr. Matthews. Should show this to all businesses and corporations today....just might improve retention rates and recruitment
Nothing but dirt and dusty roads
'CALIFORNIA' is covered on
the license plates in this
series.
RON GORTON ( FRANK) went on to a successful career in entertainment
I guess its ok to break in with out a court Order even in the 1950:s
Catch the size large footprint on the door? Motorcycle jackets with a boating hat,no one would ever take notice...
Three knocks then BAM! Barely enough time for someone to answer. The person would have been knocked on their ass. Imagine if it was the wrong apartment.
No ambulance for you reckless criminal.I like it.
1958 Dodge Custom Royal.
Great story, You do not see stories like these in the Cop Shows.
At 2:00 it's pretty obvious the cue cards are above Frank's shoulder.And again at 22:00.....he can't remember his lines.
Nitpicking. He is very good at acting.
My neighbor has a 54 Pontiac…sure would be nice to paint it up like a Highway Patrol car Lol 😂
Coo at road block should have turned on transmitter.
They sure have a high turnover rate of dispatchers
They kept getting married & leaving to have families.👍
Sort of an early Gilligan's Island.....every potential future actress made an appearance.We're all doing our........best,total waste of feminine guile and sex appeal Dan was all business.
Since Dan is the head of the HP he is in various post through the show. That would explain the different exterior shots as well.
Tony Robbins call center pays better...................
He's always closely leaning toward them. Wonder if he's trying to hit on them
To the thieves who pulled the perfect robbery wearing leather jackets and a service cap you best dump the dynamite off a cliff and change clothes.
Pretty dispatcher I wish I could go back to the 50's and find her❤️!
be sure and look her up. They pick some real sweeties for dispatchers. Like Linne Ahlstrand, miss July 1958.
@@danielmacpherson1630 They did, HP great no-nonsense show I grew up watching as a child!
Some of the villains and tough gals were wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh....
Barbara Eden I saw in one
@@perfumegoose I don't recall seeing B Eden in a HP episode but She was hot in I dream Of Jeannie extremely hot for a 14 year old/Me!
5,000 in 1955 would be worth about 55K in 2023.
24:23. A bullet hole in the box miraculously appears before Mathews shoots. Mistake?
No. Dan used a silencer and then took it off his revolver quick as can be. He has other great police talents as well like switching car models while en route to a crime. Bad guys simply don't stand a chance when Dan is around!
@@JackGordone Plus he’s immune to bullets
The audio may been out of sync....
Just realized, they call each other by numbers not names.
The policeman moved away from his car but he never dropped his gun. Right! At 26:11 a hole appears in the box that the bad guy is holding.
Anna Weathers at 26:11 the show is over
Dan Mathews is the greatest, hourrah !
Screen writers were sleeping here ! First...those radio controlled detonator caps are very frequency oriented[ within a few cycles ] or they would be blowing up everything except what they were designed to detonate ! Every commercial radio station in the county would be setting them off ! They would NOT be safe to use. and second...to render them useless...bury them !!! and keep them away from the dynamite !..in storage. .they were sitting in boxes right on top of the dynamite ? yikes ! Dana Amateur Extra Class radio station WN6OHG
During this series Broderick Crawford was drunk by most afternoons of filming. A very hard drinker even though the staff tried to keep him sober as long as possible shooting most of his scenes in the morning. He would bribe set people to sneak in alcohol. He was often stopped drunk by the CHP and it became sort of a running joke. This was a time when drunk driving of anyone who was anyone was tolerated by the police. It wasn't until the late 70's that MADD finally started getting the laws changed and the police embarrassed enough to be more serious about drunk driving.
79 I believe when some states had mandatory weekend in jail
I heard many years ago the real CHP separated because BC was filming and driving 3.725 sheets to the wind
Nobody was MADD at the time. I still think this country is lax on drunk driving....
@@perfumegoose In the 80s my mother told me that in Sweden or Switzerland it was an automatic year in jail, no questions asked.
MADD needs to mind their own business.
19:46 Typical cheap apt door.
Cop made an entrance like Kramer from Sienfeld!
@@jaminova_1969 He was looking to get a jump on the criminals.
How come criminals back in the 50's always had those cool leather jackets?
🔵STILL ASKING WHAT DOES "TCF" STANDS FOR?🔴
First, who is that dispatcher? She looks quite familiar.
I recognize her as well - Elinor Dale. She was in a few other episodes. Beautiful lady.
Excellent!!
i am wonderinf why they dindnt seperate the caps from the dynamite.
All the criminals wore suits and ties and well groomed.
Just about everyone was in the 50's.
Show ran from '55 to '59. Men still wore ties and even hats. No thugs in hoodies here.
@socal rocks The only rocks you've got are all in your head. Trump is the best thing to happen to America since Lincoln. He has gone a long way toward undoing the damage done by the thieves, traitors, sexual freaks, murderers, and half-wits who make the Democrat Party, especially the affirmative action flim-flam artist from Chicago, the fake Harvard prof who thinks there are 57 states in the Union.
And some are good looking too, when they are in their 20's or early 30's.
They all looked like middle-classers
Our first suicide bombers? What's w/ the leather coats, boys? I think KTLA was the L.A. TV channel that this series was broadcast on! It woulda' been cool if, just after leaving the gas station - KA-BOOM!
24 blasting caps went off in the hands of a squad leader in my infantry platoon due to a jeep radio while we were having a class on setting shape charges in Germany. lost both hands and eyes and unmentionables. He was to be married in two weeks.
Thats why they always say, "these are blasting caps. DONT TOUCH THEM". Then you handle them enough so that you think you're immune. Then blam.
Very sad
What year was that? I was there from 71 to 74.
Never get married
19:48------not quite how police enter a room.
Mathews does not care about the 4th amendment.
@@SOffenbach The way they entered the room reminds me of the Batman and Robin TV Show.
William boyett!
Dumont Plumbing? I thought Domont made televisions
"Real quite Sunday"! 24/7 on duty it seems.
Quiet
I laughed so F--- hard when the Emergency Broadcast signal of KTLA during the important phone call. But I am on a Highway Patrol streak for the last year . been watching on TV just searched for the TH-cam episodes. Ironic Ending to this story,... Reminds me of the time I had to walk to the fire at the farm down the road. I was so happy to get back home to my bicycle..
