I enjoyed the filling station setting for this scene from "Blast Area Copter," the April 30, 1956, episode of Highway Patrol. Helene Stanton plays Marge, a young woman who has driven across two states in two days and stops for gas. When the attendant fails to appear, she gets out of her 56 Sunliner convertible to see what's up. Paul Richards has just shot the station operator in his botched hold-up attempt.

| Note the operator's name over the door. He sells Goodyear tires, altho HP obscures that. But your eyes fill the brand in anyway. |
