Route 66: The Man on the Monkey Board

Now working on an offshore drilling rig in the Louisiana gulf, Tod and Buz become curious about one of their coworkers - an elderly man named Bartlett (Lew Ayres) obviously unsuited for such work. In actuality, Bartlett is really a Holocaust survivor who believes that one of the other workers (Alfred Ryder) may be a long-sought Nazi war criminal.

Episode Quotes
Nazi hunter Bartlett on the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust.

Bartlett: Tod, I hope your life is long and that you never know the blistering forces which sear and destroy, turn men into enemies and sweep past the last frontiers of compassion . . . once you’ve seen that dark, unceasing tide of the faces of the victims, the last spark of dignity so obliterated that not one face is lifted to heaven, not one voice is raised in protest even as they died . . .
