Ginny Bertolian (Rebecca Stanley), a worker in the DA's office, makes what appears to be a simple computer error, and as a result several criminals who'd been hauled the night before are suddenly released. Turns out, however, that the "glitch" was no accident: Ginny wants to hire one of the freed criminals to murder her husband. Of course, it takes most of the episode for Hunter (Fred Dryer) to put the pieces together and figure out what Ginny is up to--but once he does, look out! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Untamed Youth is a camp classic, so stupefyingly awful that it's actually festive. The villains are cotton grower Tropp (John Russell) and corrupt female judge Mrs. Steele (Lurene Tuttle), who conspire between them to ship female convicts to work on Tropp's farm for starvation wages. Two of the new arrivals are professional entertainers Penny (Mamie Van Doren) and Janey (Lori Nelson), arrested on trumped-up charges and forced to work off their sentence on the Tropp spread. Salvation arrives in the form of Bob (Don Burnett), Mrs. Steele's son, who intends to expose his mom's eeeevil scheme. Featured in the cast is rock-and-roller Eddie Cochran, who gets to sing one song -- while Mamie Van Doren is permitted four numbers. To repeat examples of the film's howlingly bad dialogue would be to rob the viewer of the perverse pleasure of experiencing Untamed Youth in all its trashy glory. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
