Entertaining episode as two women commit robberies disguised as men(loosely disguised). Two murders happened while robberies in progress(whoops). Captured by Mathews and Larrabee hiding(poorly hiding under brush in back of hideout property). Why they were not frisked for the weapons they carried including the patrolman's gun is a slipup or maybe cuffing them having a female office do the search for weapons back at HQ??? Oh well it was fun to see women take the lead as the perpitrators with three patrolemen with Dan searching for them in the back forty of their hideout. The brunette drops the eye brow pencil while being rushed to escape by her blond partner(whoops). Dan found the pencil and realized the bandits and murderers might be women(you think).

Delicious for me

Long before THELMA AND LOUISE, this episode is for me delightful at the most. I have always loved female criminals stories, where women play men's characters. The actresses here are very good, their acting perfect for such characters. That changes from usual and predictable stuff. As I have already said, this TV series - HIGHWAY PATROL - often brings us the same topics, but sometimes very exciting tales too, such as this one. Unfortunately so such short stories may not have enough space to describe enough the characters...But after all why not.
Lesser is sometimes the better...
The watcher can, this way, let his imagination go.
That's my own point of view.

Very disappointing

Very poor writing, clearly aimed at (and assuming that) a childish audience, sinks this "Highway Patrol" episode about not-too-bright female robbers. I found it especially poor to have an ending where nothing happens -practically no dialogue when Brod catches the gals, just roll those credits.
Unless you're a fetishist (see previous review here re: cross-dressing), it's completely uninteresting. The actresses were only mildly attractive, would-be sweater girls one supposes but with no Stella Adler training. There's plenty of references to their violent ruthlessness, but none shown, it being a G rated tv medium at the time.
Not even interesting as a police procedural, this is filmmaking at its weakest, making a Monogram or PRC production of the '40s look innovative, or the endless stream of 21st Century crap mildly clever. Not even up to the level of hackwork. I was addicted to this and similar shows as a child, so it's a bit embarrassing to see six decades later how lame this stuff could be.
Not sure if it's a precursor of product placement, but the cars all seemed to be late-model Fords.
