May 19, 1962 [152] "The Case
of the Promoter's Pillbox"
Director Jesse Hibbs
TeleplayPeter Martin
Perry goes back to "the old soda
fountain" he frequented as a second home during his
college days. He looks up old buddy Herbert Simms and
learns that Herb aspires to become a TV scriptwriter.
Herb's mom wants him to take over the family pharmacy,
but Herbert has already submitted his first teleplay to
producer Charlie Corbywho jokes he'd rather hire
Rod Serling.
It's a shot in the dark for Herbert
Simms, especially when Corby tries to use the play as his
own. The scheme doesn't last longsomeone fatally clubs Corby with a whiskey
bottle after a party. Herbert is seen running from the
scene of the crime, and is arrested for Corby's murder.
With Perry's help this won't be Herbert's last scene.
Watch for Ivan Dixon, the actor who played Kinchloe in
"Hogan's Heroes" and went on to be a TV
director, in this episode.
