Salesman Fowler in Ironsides: Warrior's Return

Series Notes: NBC; 60m; color; 1967-75; 197 episodes
Wheelchair-bound by an assassin's bullet, former San Francisco Police detective Robert Ironside continues to wage war against crime as a special consultant.
Regulars:

Raymond Burr (Robert Ironside)
Don Galloway (Det. Sgt. Ed Brown)

Barbara Anderson (Eve Whitfield)
Don Mitchell (Mark Sanger)

Guest Cast:

Stephen McNally (store owner Leavitt?)
DeForest Kelley (Fowler)
Ned Romero (John Walala)
Dabbs Greer (Mr. Carew)
George Keymas (Tomas)

Michael Conrad (Frank O'Neill)
Darwin Joston (Craig Cheppa)
Don Milbanks (Lt. Milt Thayler)
Helen Baron (Mrs. Carew)
Princess Lois Red Elk (Barbara Cheppa)

Neal Nikon (Officer Martin)
Peter Maximilian (Officer Lynch)
Ron Foster (Dr. Griffith)

Episode Summary:
Ironside is helping Frank O'Neill prepare a grant application for "New Directions" - an organization which assists ex-cons to find employment and stay on the straight and narrow. Needing a sample case history for the application, Ironside chooses the file of John Walala, a Zuni Indian who had burgled a liquor store, done his time, and is now working as a silversmith at Leavitt's Grand Jewelry store. When the store safe is cracked, Walala promptly vanishes, his engraving tool is found as if he had dropped it picking the door lock, and he becomes suspect #1. Leavitt's salesman, Fowler (Kelley) becomes suspect #2 when investigation reveals that he not only has an arrest record (grand larceny, charges dropped) but has reason to hold a grudge against Leavitt, who recently reduced his salary. Suspect #3 is Carew, a part-time bookkeeper, who is heavily in debt for his invalid wife's medical care - and turns out to have given a false alibi for the evening of the robbery. As Ironside and his sidekicks hunt for Walala, suspect #4 appears in the shape of Craig Cheppa, Walala's young cousin, who has recently flunked out of college and may have taken to robbery in a fit of depression. When found, Walala pulls a gun on Ironside in an attempt to protect Cheppa; Ironside talks him into turning over the gun and going to jail for questioning, and notes that Walala is disturbed when told that his engraving scribe was found at the crime scene - which implies that Cheppa did the robbery and tried to pin it on Walala. Ironside brings Walala and Cheppa together in jail to get their reactions - obviously each thought the other had committed the crime, and with that realization they are reconciled. Carew is cleared when his wife explains that he was visiting his other woman - an obliging widow who has offered to lend him money for the wife's medical care. In the roundup scene, Fowler plausibly points out that he kept the job despite a paycut because 1) he needed it and 2) he likes Leavitt for having hired him despite his record, and Leavitt was in a bind. He also cooperatively identifies several envelopes that had held the stolen jewels. This proves to be the crux of the case: the writing on the envelopes is unaffected, though the burglar had filled the safe with water to protect the contents while cracking it. Therefore, the jewels had been removed before the safe was cracked. All eyes turn to Leavitt, who has stolen his own jewels and collected both the insurance and the proceeds of fencing them in San Diego, while Ironside's assistants read him his Miranda rights. Walala and Cheppa head off to the local pow-wow together for some beer and dancing.

Notes:
Kelley has 2 short scenes as the smooth-talking salesman. In the first, while Barbara attempts to question him about the burglary, he keeps trying to get her to admire a nice diamond ring so that she will some day recommend the shop to "the fortunate young man" he is sure will soon marry her. And he gets a couple of lines in the final suspect round-up scene. Cute, but hardly enough screen time to do much with the character.

Dabbs Greer is excellent in his short scenes in this one - like Kelley, he was a long-time character actor who appeared in many old westerns.

Robert Walden (Dr. Martin Cohen)

Guest Cast:

Arthur Hill (Ainsley Walters)
Carol Lynley (Judith Walters)
DeForest Kelley (Parrish, Walters' aide)
Roger Perry (?)
Kevin Hagen (?)

Episode Summary:
Ainsley Walters, billionaire corporate executive, checks in at the Institute for a full check-up, saying that his board of directors ordered him to do so. He insists that Craig assign the Institute's heart surgeon, Dr. Stuart, to his case rather than their leading internist (Dr. Hunter), stating that Stuart has applied for a big grant from his company for a hyperbaric chamber, and he wants to look him over. When Walters' executive aide Parrish (Kelley) reports that they were followed as ordered, we get our first tip-off to Walters' scheme: his company is under attack by smart young wheeler-dealer Carmichael; Walters hopes to get publicity implying that he is seriously ill so that his own stock will plummet, Carmichael will be forced to sell his shares at a loss and give up the acquisition, Walters will buy up the shares then announce a clean bill of health and his company's stock will go back up where it belongs, leaving him rich and free of the takeover attempt. It works; however, Walters has been hiding the fact that he is in the early stages of Parkinson's disease. Once Carmichael has gone bankrupt, Walters undergoes a fancy new cryosurgical procedure (by Craig) to stave off the disease a few years. A subplot has Walters trying to point various promising young men at his daughter, worried that she is forgoing a family in order to continue the family business. She makes a play for Dr. Stuart, but at the end, it looks as if Carmichael - now in her father's employ - will be her Prince Charming.

Notes:
Though Kelley has about 3rd billing on the guest-cast list, this is a bit part and a total waste of the man's talents. He appears in half a dozen scenes for a total screen time of maybe 4 minutes, and the character has nothing much for him to work with. For the completist only.

As Judge Silverton, Room 222: "Sins of the Father"

Series Notes: ABC; 30m; color; 1969-74; 78 episodes
School drama centering on history teacher Pete Dixon and his colleagues and students in a big-city high school; frequently dealt with topical issues.

Karen Valentine (Alice Johnson)

Judy Strangis (Helen)
David Jolliffe (Bernie)
Heshimu (Jason)

Guest Cast:
Mark Lambert (Val Silverton); Tannis Montgomery (Sherry)

Episode Summary:
(Episode is sometimes listed as "Sins of the Father")
Pete’s class is studying civil unrest in the post-WWI period. After an argument over the Saccho-Vanzetti executions, they decide to try the case themselves. Val Silverton, son of former judge and present Commissioner Matt Silverton (Kelley), is adamant that only the guilty end up in trouble with the law, and acts as prosecutor. Not only does Val take the role very seriously, but his grades have been slipping to the point that he will not be able to get into the Ivy League colleges he has set his sights on, and he has a falling-out with his long-time girlfriend Sherry. The class learns the cause of the trouble when the newspaper posts the headline that Commissioner Silverton has been indicted for corruption. Val suddenly becomes completely hostile to his father, assuming him to be guilty of both the charge and hypocrisy, and applies to transfer to a private school. Pete and Liz try to persuade him not to run away and also to give his father a fair hearing. The other students, who never liked the serious Val much, rally round. Worried about his son's reaction when he sees the headline, Matt Silverton comes to find Val at school, asserts his innocence of the charge and declares his love for his son. Val returns to class less judgmental, and the trial continues, ending (naturally enough) in a hung jury.

Notes:
Kelley sports longish 70's hair and a mustache in this one. He gets only a short scene with rather predictable lines and restrained delivery.
For Trekkers:
Series star Lloyd Haynes played Lt. Alden in "Where No Man Has Gone Before."

1970+ NIGHT OF THE LEPUS

Role: ** Elgin Clark
Premiere: 6/29/72
Director: William F. Claxton
Writer: Don Holliday and Gene R. Kearney
from the novel The Year of the Angry Rabbit by Russell Braddon
Producer:A.C. Lyles

Notes: MGM; 88m; color.

Henry Wills (Frank)
Francesca Jarvis (Mildred)
William Elliott (Dr. Leopold)
Robert Hardy (Prof. Dirkson)
Richard Jacome (Deputy Jason)

Plot Summary:
Rabbits are breeding like... um, rabbits, and overrunning Arizona. When rancher Cole Hillman has to shoot a horse after it steps in a rabbit hole, he determines to get rid of the rabbits, but wants a more environmentally sound method of control than poisoning his land. He takes the problem to college president Elgin Clark (Kelley), who sends him to zoologist Roy Bennett. Bennett comes up with a serum of hormones and mutated blood to interfere with rabbit reproduction and injects some test bunnies, which get loose and instantly spawn a race of man-sized carnivorous rabbits to wreak havoc on the people and livestock of the region. Bennett and Hillman determine that the rabbits are holed up in an old mine and try to dynamite them, but some get away to attack the town and ranch, including Gerry and Amanda Bennett. The National Guard is called in, and a bunny-drive is set up using guns and cars to herd the beasts onto railroad tracks, which are then used to electrocute them.

Notes:
My, my... what can one say about a sci-fi thriller sporting 6-foot man-eating bunnies terrorizing the countryside. I like Kelley's response when asked about it at a convention: "Oh, you would have to bring that up... Next question?" About the best that can be said for it is that it's pretty funny as a quintessential "bad science" sci-fi flick. As far as Kelley's role, this one is for the completist only!
For Trekkers:
Paul Fix was the doctor in the second ST pilot; Kelley said that neither of them ever brought up the McCoy role which Fix lost to Kelley.

Episode Summary:
Kathleen Telford visits her son-in-law David to try to get him to go on with his life after the death of her daughter Alice, David's wife. David resents Kathleen, since she originally opposed the marrige. David believes that Dr. Morton, who had expressed belief in helping a patient to die if requested, acted upon that belief and shortened Alice's life. David also was and is incapable of facing the truth of Alice's terminal cancer, and insists that Alice would never have asked to die. He sues Dr. Morton for wrongful death, despite Kathleen's pleas not to. It looks bad for Morton, the last person to attend Alice, when an orderly testifies that he found the drip line clamped off after her death. Kathleen meets with defense attorney Goldstone, who then leads her through testimony that Morton never suggested helping Alice die; that it was she who did it when Alice begged her to. David is furious, denying that Alice would have asked to die. At Kathleen's trial for first-degree murder, a fellow patient testifies that Alice did beg her mother to help her die, and that Alice couldn't ask her husband, who was never able to even talk about the illness. The judge expresses her confidence that the jury will reach a just verdict. As court adjourns for the day, David sobs in Kathleen's lap. We do not know the outcome.

Notes:
Kelley has a few short scenes as the compassionate defense attorney; nice enough, but just not enough lines to sink his teeth into...

Clay O'Brien (Weedy)

Guest Cast: Robert Hoy (Idaho?)

Episode Summary:
Pilot episode, a spinoff from the John Wayne movie. I have not been able to view the episode but have heard an audio recording; here is what I was able to decipher from it:

     Seven boys, 9-17, and chuck-wagon driver Mr. Nightlinger, who seems to be looking after them, have driven the Anderson ranch cattle to the railroad, and returned to New Mexico with the money from the sale. (Mr. Anderson has apparently been killed during the drive.) The money ($25,000) saves Widow Anderson from having to sell the ranch. She still needs ranch hands, all local help having run off to the silver fields. Nightlinger persuades her to hire the boys -- and himself, to manage and educate them. (He demonstrates his teaching prowess by requiring the youngest boys, reluctantly, to recite Shakespeare.) Mrs. Anderson gives Nightlinger the money to hide in "a safe place" until they can get it to the bank in Spanish Wells. Nightlinger takes all the boys' weapons, except for Weedy's peashooter.
      Enter the wicked Jack Potter (Kelley) and his sidekick Idaho, demanding the money from Mrs. Anderson. Hearing a disturbance; Nightlinger goes up to investigate; Jack forces her to tell Nightlinger to go back to the bunkhouse. Idaho brings in the boys, sneering at them as "babies." (It is unclear, but from later comments, he has presumably knocked Nightlinger out.) When Mrs. Anderson and the boys all deny knowing where the money is, Potter decides to take Hardy as surety that Mrs. Anderson will bring the money to him when Nightlinger wakes up. However, Slim (Hardy's big brother) persuades Potter to take him instead. Potter obliges, commenting that it "don't make no nevermind to me, child."
      Mrs. Anderson demands the money from Nightlinger, delivers it to Potter and retrieves Slim. (At least Potter honored the ransom...) Meanwhile one of the boys muses about the story of David and Goliath. (Hence the title... "after all, David done it.") Sounds of gunplay and hoofbeats ensue amid which, apparently, the boys have gone after the baddies, brought them down somehow (presumably the peashooter is involved) and turned them over to the marshall. The money is returned to Mrs. Anderson; her ranch saved again, she decides to hire the boys. General celebration, whoopin' and hollerin'.

Notes:
This was Mr. Kelley's last "real mean heavy" role and he pours it on thick, accenting the drawl and punctuating Potter's nasty threats with his vehement, "Hear me, now!" and so forth. The character seems to have made it through the episode alive, though.

Photo (from a booklet of Mr. Kelley's Star Trek ballads) presumably came from this show.

1970+ Beginner's Luck (Play)

Role: Paul Burnett
Performance dates: ? 1974
Hayloft Dinner Theater, Lubbock Texas

Publication Notes:
Comedy in two acts by Norman Barasch and Carroll Moore. Copyright 1967 as "Best Behavior"; copyright 1970 as "Beginner's Luck"; copyright 1973 as "Beginner's Luck," revised and rewritten. Published by Samuel French.

Plot Summary:
Paul Burnett feigns injury in order to return to the good graces of his ex-wife.

Notes:
Kelley reported that he was onstage for the entire play and lost weight during the run. One of his convention anecdotes comes from this play - just as he was changing clothes onstage, he was distracted by having his neck-chain (a gift from Caroline) go flying into the audience, and kept on undressing until he "mooned the whole left side."

1970+ THE LITTLEST HOBO:

Episode: 2.15 Airdate: 2/12/81
Role: *** Hal Schaffer
Commercial Recording: none known

two Kelley photos from this episode can be viewed at Kevin McCorry's The Littlest Hobo Page)

Series Notes: CTV; 30m; color; 1979-85; 114 episodes
The hero of this Canadian series is a German shepherd named London, who seems to be a kind of canine Lone Ranger, endlessly roaming and rescuing those in need. It was the successor to a 1958 movie and a 1963-65 Canadian television series.
Regulars: London (German shepherd)
Guest Cast: Ted Simonette (Dave Martindale), Jamie Dick (Bobby)

Episode Summary: Not viewed.
The following episode description by Kevin McCorry appears in the episode guide section of his very comprehensive website devoted to this show, The Littlest Hobo Page, (http://http://mccorrytv.topcities.com/hobo-3.html).
"Hal Schaffer, a modern-society-weary university professor, vacations unusually by opting for simplicity in living with a group of rail-riding hobos. London meets Schaffer and brings him to a boxcar, inside of which is a little boy, a runaway, who refuses to speak to Schaffer but is in possession of a photo of himself and a man. The names on the picture are Dave and Bobby. Dave is a soon-to-be-married man who has had a Big Brother friendship with little Bobby, an orphan. Dave and his fiancee want to adopt Bobby, but Bobby does not know this. Thinking that he would not see Dave anymore because of Dave's marriage, Bobby fled the orphanage where Dave had been visiting him. Schaffer finds a phone number on Bobby's picture with Dave and, leaving London to watch Bobby, goes to a telephone booth at a small railway station to contact Dave. Dave and his fiancee meet Schaffer, who tells them that he left Bobby with an extraordinary German shepherd and escorts them to collect the boy. But Bobby has fled from London and boarded the boxcar where he had initially been found, unaware that it is slated to be sealed and removed from the rail lines. London leads Schaffer, Dave, and Dave's fiancee to the boxcar as it is being lifted by a crane, and Schaffer orders the crane operator to lower it. After freeing Bobby, Dave informs him of the adoption plans, and Bobby is overjoyed."

Notes:
The episode did not air until 1981, but must have been filmed well before, as Kelley refers to it in a convention appearance before the first Star Trek movie. He stated: "It was a very popular show in Canada and it is something that is really not unlike Lassie here. I had never been to Canada before and the money was marvelous. So I went up there and it was an absolutely delightful time. We were there about six or seven days and the whole thing was shot outside, again, in the extreme cold. A delightful crew, the people were beautiful and I enjoyed it very much."
