Highway Patrol Witness Wife (1955–1959) Online

During a robbery Lester Rutman kills a guard, stows the body in his car trunk, and disposes of the corpse on farmer Martin Jensen's property. Jansen witnesses the act and notifies the Highway Patrol. Dan Mathews and his officers set up a series of roadblocks, and Rutman and his partner Collins narrowly escape capture by turning onto a dirt road. Rutman concludes that a witness saw him dispose of the body and he sets out to eliminate that person. Posing as newspapermen, Rutman and Collins learn Martin Jensen's identity and whereabouts from his wife Jane and they are able to trap them in a barn. The two felons fire shots at the barn and a pitched gun battle ensues when Dan and his officers hear the shots and investigate.

On a lonely rural field, a farmer spots a body being dumped from a road. So he contacts you know who. Already Mathews and the Patrol are looking for the two culprits, so the cops don't have far to go. It's cat and mouse along the dirt roads as the killers try to find the witness before the Patrol finds them. Meanwhile, Mathews gets to bark out more than his usual number of orders as he directs the pursuit.

I don't think we find out what the original crime was that led to the body dump. Anyhow, it's a fast moving episode, with some of the ugliest scrublands in the LA area. Also, I'd like to know what the farmer's raising on that parched land. But the farmhouse looks like a real one and none too prosperous, about like the skinny farmer and his dowdy wife. Good thing they're also gutsy as heck. It's also good that the series refuses to glamorize anything in this back roads drama. All in all, it's a worthy one for the series.
