synopsis
This episode is something of a showcase for two former TV-series regulars: Perry Mason's Barbara Hale, and Family Affair's Kathy Garver. While searching for a rapist who preys on hitchhikers, Officers Jim Reed (Kent McCord) and Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) do their best to reunite a drug-peddling teenage runaway (Garver) with her anguished mother (Hale). Also appearing is Barbara Hale's real-life husband Bill Williams as a suspected rapist (Incidentally, Hale and Williams were the parents of future Greatest American Hero star William Katt).
