Don Barry was an excellent and, in my opinion, terribly under-rated actor. In his one directorial effort, of a movie with a budget of what looked to be about $57.00, he showed skill and inventiveness. He deserved more fame and respect.
In this episode, he has a brief scene, so different from the kind of strong characters he is best known for, and he steals the scene.
Also enriching the cast and the show is Regis Toomey, one of the busiest and most talented of character actors.
Irene Tuttle is another of those invaluable character actors without whom Hollywood could not have existed.
This episode had more humor than usual, but this show was not all funny. Malloy and Reed are also fired at by a deranged sniper.
Writers for "Adam 12" had an amazing and admirable ability to present many and different stories in just 30 minutes ... including commercials (made so much worse in the syndicated editions on the nostalgia TV channels). This episode is one of the best.
