Lots of running around as HP tracks down truck hi-jackers. The crooks use a clever gimmick to set up target trucks that involves natural sympathy people have for accident victims. Once the crooks have got the truck, clever evasion tactics are used to cover their tracks. But, of course, trying to outwit Mathews' dogged pursuit is thankless.
Pretty good entry. Lots of action and a good twist with Pop's Café. Note how Mathews doesn't need a moment of thought before barking out orders. But then they've only got a half-hour to wrap things up. Series dedication to location filming also engages here, particularly the warehouse scenes. Note too presence of Oscar-nominee Stuart Whitman (The Mark {1961}) as a handsome patrolman. All in all, it's a solid 30-minutes for series fans.
