This episode teaches would-be-thieves watching at home a good way of making certain that Police are no where near the location you're planning to rob. Just call in to the local Police Station and report some evil-doings in a location on the opposite side of town. All the cops will be heading over there, leaving unpatrolled the area where the business you're going to rob is located. That makes for some easy pickins'.
Of course, the writers and producers of Adam-12 knew that real bad-guys, criminals and thieves were not the sort to ever tune into this show. They would have been plotting their crimes with "Laugh-In" on in the background. Heh-heh. Goldie Hawn... What a nut.
There is, unfortunately, no scene in which we see Malloy and Reed patrolling on horseback. There could have been, and it probably would have been fun. Instead, M & R turn that duty over to a couple Park Rangers. The Rangers diligently attend the matter at hand - Grand Theft Horse - and get their man. Or Cowboy. Or Hippie. Or a man described by the victim of the theft as being a filthy hippie. He turns out to be a kind, young, easy-going clean-cut Cowboy who misses his home and horses back in Texas. But I suppose "filthy hippie" comes close.
The Cowboy from Texas isn't the only out-of-towner M & R have to deal with in this episode. There's also an 18 year-old from Virginia. She's come all the way to La La Land to be with a guy who drives a totally awesome Mercury Cyclone. He'd rather marry the car. What is it with these out-of-towners this episode? Heh-heh. "Out-Of-Towners". Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn. What a couple of nuts.
Finally, Malloy cracks the code of all those mis-direction, false phone calls of crime. He and Reed end up in pursuit of two evil-doers getting away in a beat-up, red Ford Falcon automobile. There's a pretty cool hub-cap losing car chase which ends in a premature, crazy explosion. This time Malloy & Reed each get their evil-doing man - dragging them to safety from out of the burning inferno of twisted metal. The explosion is huge, so quite thrilling for the at-home viewer. However, considering the required relative safety of the aftermath for M & R, it seems perhaps the Special Effects Department in charge of the explosion may have gone a little bit overboard. Heh-heh. "Overboard". Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn. What a couple of nuts.
