Synopsis and Spoilers - First Class Mouliak

One of the things that was so incredible about Route 66 was the number of actors who got their first credits of their careers on this show. One person was Robert Redford.

This episode is set in a polish neighborhood. Mike and Jack are the best of friends. Not only do they work together, their families are close. When the daughter comes up missing after a party, everybody, including Todd and Buzz go searching for her. She is found dead. The question now turns to who did the dead. When it is found that perhaps the son of the friend could be guilty, Mike and Jack must deal with the possibility of the end of their friendship.

Redford also had a very early TV credit on an episode of the Twilight Zone, where he played an angel.
