synopsis
An explosion in Rampart's hospital lab not only endangers the workers, but also some valuable documents. A young woman who is trying to impress her boyfriend and his mother with a homecooked meal falls victim to one kitchen accident after another, ultimately resulting in a call to Squad 51. Dr. Early (Bobby Troup) tries to convince a man that he hasn't been placed under a hex. A sports car, and its driver, are pinned under a gas truck that is on the verge of blowing up. And station mascot Boots confuses one and all with his uncharacteristically lethargic behavior. This episode was originally scheduled to air on January 27, 1973.
