Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAbout halfway through the story, Hendricks offers to pay Lucia $2,300 to leave town. Soon afterwards, he plots the hijacking of electronic gear insured for $25,000. In 2021 terms, those amounts would be about $19,020 and $206,700, respectively. To put them into context in 1965, the base price of a new Rambler American 440 4-door compact sedan was about $2,200 and the average price of a new home was $13,600.
- GoofsThe police arrest the would-be hijacker in a phone booth before he has committed any crime for which he could be arrested. Since a crime has not yet been committed there are no grounds for the arrest.
- Quotes

Featured review
3/9/65 "Everybody Gets Hit in the Mouth Sometime"
Jack Klugman returns, again playing a grouchy small business operator, (See "Terror at Highpoint"). Here's he's running a trucking company- and paying through the nose to the self-involved widow of a driver killed on one of his runs. He's known for bending the rules to keep his small-time operation afloat and the authorities are looking over his shoulder, which means they are also looking over the shoulder of his dispatcher, Richard Kimble, (also a similar job to one he had in the earlier episode). A sleazy crook played by Michael Constantine has a possible solution to Klugman's problems: set up a high-jacking for a cut of the proceeds. Klugman eventually gives into him and decides to drive the rig himself. Kimble finds out the authorities are onto the deal and have set up a trap. He jumps into another truck and an exciting chase results along a dangerous mountain road.
The final scene has a rare light touch. The widow's bratty kid hits him with a slingshot. Kimble turns around and spanks him, before moving on to William Conrad's deep dramatic, narration.
