Sunday, Sept. 1 - Highway Patrol: Lie Detector

Highway Patrol (1955–1959): Lie Detector (Season 1 | Episode 17 - aired 23 January 1956)

Elderly motel owner Ethel Cary is violently assaulted during an attempted robbery of her unbanked life's savings. The evidence all points to motel guest Roger Taylor, but both Taylor and Mrs. Cary pass lie detector tests. Mrs. Cary's nephew Henry is loudly insistent that Taylor is the perpetrator and motel guest Wilbur Morgan makes a point of volunteering information and additional evidence that would seem to implicate Taylor. However, Taylor passes a second lie detector test after Mrs. Cary is again assaulted and her savings are taken. Dan Mathews deduces that Henry and Wilbur Morgan must be involved and he sets a trap by asking Henry to take a lie detector test himself.
