THE MECHANIZED ACCOMPLICE
Original Airdate: Mar. 31, 1968
Synopsis. The strange kidnapping of Gus Kolner (played by Bobby Sherman), the son of an Idaho millionaire (played by Will Kuluva), leads Erskine and Colby to the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco and the world of the counterculture. The crime is odd because, by all accounts, Gus appeared to have left his home of his own volition. Meanwhile, the perpetrator, Spencer Lang (Andrew Prine), is a convicted murderer who learned how to build clocks while serving eight years at the Washington state penitentiary. The mechanized accomplice is an alarm clock that is set to explode in six hours—in a room where Gus is trapped inside—unless the elder Kolner pays Lang $150,000.
