Martin Milner guest stars in this Laredo story, a very hilarious one about a big city policeman joining the Rangers to teach them modern crime fighting techniques. Captain Parmalee is somewhat reluctant to have him join the team, but if his three favorites can learn anything so be it.
His debut isn't impressive. After Neville Brand has fallen into a mud puddle and is looking rather disheveled, Milner proceeds to expound on the fact in primitive Texas you are forced to hire a lot of people dirty and unqualified. All of them hate Milner, but Brand's hate is in a class by itself.
Milner never really showed a flair for comedy until this Laredo episode. Usually he's cast as callow youths in his salad days and later on as professional types. Here he's a Dudley DooRight sort and the Rangers especially Brand just enjoy seeing him make a fool of himself.
Billy Wilder favorite Cliff Osmond plays the Indian outlaw they seek, Shelley Morrison is his squaw. Seeing her make a fool out of Milner is priceless.
Lots of laughs in this one.
