It's incredible (I'm saying it for this episode but it's true for most of the others) that in 25 minutes, with limited means, but from which they make the most, they can tell us a real story, with suspense, humor, humanity ! Of course, there are some implausibilities, some risky shortcuts, and Dan Matthews, despite his corpulence, always escapes bullets, but in such a short time, each story is a cinematic feat. Bravo Highway Patrol, it was a great entertainment, and in this time the policemen could make their job! I Thank you for sharing it. I am a fan !

On the opening theme if Highway Patrol, there is a light colored 1956 Lincoln Premiere convertible heading to a road block, but the driver of that car stopped, but he is a friend of the police and have a chat, not a criminal of breaking the law. Broderick Crawford was starred of the 1950s and early 1960s police drama, like Adam 12 back in 1968 to 1974, but it is in color, but Highway Patrol was in black and white.

Escapes of opportunity typically happen at Juvie jail not honor farms.The pilot was too naive and the hardened convict was too spontaneous for a honor farm breakout. If this had been preplanned, they would have had provisions or plans for cothing, food, and money. the first year of this program was better because of the help the CHP offered for details and writing to make it seem real.
