Story: The woman who owns the dog Johnny
took care of in Mascot returns to keep her promise
and presents Johnny with a pup. A catatonic mechanic is brought to Rampart and must later
be rescued from a ledge by Johnny and Roy. A young woman mixes bleach and ammonia
and suffers from the resulting poison gas. An elderly couple is trapped in their
house by tumbleweeds.
Goofs: (1) How did Roy know that the mechanic had been out for
1/2 to1 hour if nobody even knew he was out before Johnny found him? (2) Chet
tells Johnny that Paula will show up about 12:30. When they get the ammonia
inhalation call it's 12:22. When they get back, Paula is there waiting and says
she showed up about noon. (3) When Johnny finally catches the dog in the kitchen
he sits on a plate on the table. Paula then moves it but Johnny does not sit
back down. (4) Inside joke? -- The lonely woman Johnny and Roy have repeated
runs to is named Edna Self, a wink to producer Ed Self.
Tidbits: The snorkle used in The Promise
was actually station 127's. (Thanks to Kelli for this info)
