The third episode of Route 66, "The Swan Bed," featured a lot of Murray Hamilton close-ups.
Buz and Tod are in New Orleans. Tod befriends a 15-year-old Zina Bethune. In the debut episode he befriended a 15-year-old Patty McCormack. Not a good trend, Stiles.
A bird virus has broken out. Buz finds a female friend he used to know, but now she's an exotic dancer... with birds! She falls ill, and it all ties together with a fancy bed. Murray Hamilton as the public health doctor.
Before he was Officer Jerry Woods on Adam-12, Fred Stromsoe kept showing up on Route 66.
At the cemetery, Murray gets some close-ups.
