Second instalment of The Incredible Hulk has the good doctor roaming the California highways through orchard country. He comes across a young lady - an heiress - struggling to walk.
Turns out it's a murder plot and a pretty good one.
The episode really belongs to Laurie Prange as the supposedly crippled young lady. She's the emotional centre of the episode. Not only does she have her own journey, but she helps the local alcoholic - admirably played by John McLiam - find redemption, too.
A couple of other fine performances by TV veterans including William Daniels and Mills Watson. Both still alive as of this writing.
But I gotta mention the grizzly wrestling scene. OK, I realize it's a Hollywood grizzly. Maybe even the same one from Grizzly Adams. But by gawd any stuntman who gets into the swamp - either dressed as Bill Bixby or Green Lou Ferrigno - with a 500-pound killing machine - gets my respect. I mean, the stunt guys aren't just feeding the grizzly some berries, they're wrestling it.
Considering this is based on a comic book character, this is a surprisingly mature show that actually respects its audience.
