In a plot similar to the motion picture Split Second (1953), an attractive blonde is taken hostage to a blast area. Mathews brings out the helicopter in this episode to coordinate an evacuation of a blast area. At the same time, loser Joe White, played by veteran television actor Paul Richards, holds up a gas station. During the holdup, Marge, played by obscure actress Helen Stanton , pulls up in her 1956 Ford convertible running on empty. You can guess the rest. No street signs spotted, just a fake “Highway 104” sign courtesy of ZIV’s art department. Good episode. Now check out the movie Split Second, 10/4?
