November 14,1965 [251] "The
Case of the Runaway Racer"
Director Jesse Hibbs
Teleplay Sy Salkowitz
Music Richard Shores
Pappy Ryan, a race car builder, is one
of the meanest men you'd ever want to meet. He's angry
enough to kill when one of the race car drivers, Pete
Griston, cracks up one of Pappy's masterpieces on a test
drive and injures another driver.
Pappy accuses Harvey Rettig of
tampering with the car, and files charges against both
Rettig and Griston. Before the authorities can serve a
warrant, Rettig is killed and Pete Griston is found
standing groggily over the body. Burger has all the
motive he needs when he learns Pete signed for a $50,000
loan that Rettig took out with a loan shark.
