Highway Patrol
An American police procedural series, set in an unspecified rural area of the American West. The main character Dan Mathews orchestrates the activities of highway patrolmen against the regional operations of smugglers, hijackers, and robbers. The patrolmen also keep an eye on people who illegally cross the borders between the United States and Mexico. A key element of the show is two-way radio communication among patrol cars and headquarters. Several of the scripts are based on authentic stories from the files of highway patrol headquarters throughout the country.

Frightened Witness
Mon, Oct 6, 195830 mins
Newlyweds Carl and Jennifer Stone arrive at Phillips' Cafe just in time to witness a botched robbery in which the counterman is killed. Perpetrator Joe Norton permits the two to leave on the condition that they never tell anyone what they saw. Joe's brother Pete is dubious and sets out to find and silence the frightened witnesses for good. Carl Stone subsequently has an attack of conscience and provides Dan Mathews with an anonymous tip that leads to Joe Norton's arrest. Joe's alibi is shaky, but Dan is determined to use existing leads to find the Stones in order to make the case airtight. Pete Norton catches up to the Stones, but Dan arrives shortly thereafter and uses a ruse to lure Pete into the open.
