I Can't Believe I Liked It
This started out as a sappy melodrama. John McIntyre, usually a star of Westerns, has picked up his niece who was joyriding with a "delinquent" teenager. He is a straight laced councilman with an unblemished record. He can't bare that anyone would see him coming from the courthouse. As they stop for cigarettes (I've never seen so much smoking as on this series) a woman backs into the car and sets off the car horn. Robert Morse (Len) comes over and stops the blaring horn. He asks for a ride and because he did a favor, the fun begins. He is a rebellious kid who sees the ills of society. He is particularly on the case of the councilman, whom he sees as the worst hypocrite. He also sets the guy up by talking about men with knives and dangerous behavior. McIntyre goes from smug to petrified, and, for the first time in his life, getting a speeding ticket and a court appearance. This leads to a great denouement which teaches us about our prejudgement of people.
