Disgruntled engineer Jay Detterich rigs his car with stolen explosives hooked to a "dead man's switch" and goes on a suicide mission to destroy the chemical plant that terminated his employment. The plant is in a populous area and the Highway Patrol is instructed to treat the situation as a "Civil Defense Red Alert". Dan Mathews, a motorcycle officer, and a demolitions expert must risk their own lives to prevent massive destruction and loss of life.
Afterward, they enjoy a refreshing smoke.
Highway Patrol (1955–1959): Plane Crash (Season 1 | Episode 23)
Dan Mathews and his officers discover the murder of a forest ranger who reported the possible crash landing of a small plane. They learn that the plane's owner is racketeer Harry Barlow and that he is accompanied by his wife and pilot Steve Wasson. They confront Barlow's group and learn that they are there to pay $100,000 in ransom for the return of the Barlowes' daughter Virginia.
Dan knows that someone in the group is guilty of murder and suspects that the guilty party may be Wasson. His suspicions increase further when the kidnappers turn out to be two of Barlow's employees and Wasson volunteers to be taken as a hostage (in exchange for Virginia). Dan permits the kidnappers and their "hostage" to leave the ransom scene, but the surprised felons soon find themselves in an armed confrontation with Dan and his officers.
