A dying man's last act is to give Honey a snow globe. Honey doesn't understand why, but quickly learns that others are willing to kill to get it.

Yesterday, I decided to re-watch the Honey West series. I had completely forgotten how addictive these episodes are. They're like crack – once you start, you're hooked. Anne Francis is just so watchable. She makes Honey West better than it should. The Abominable Snowman is another nice outing for Honey. The high speed car chase (What a car! And, what a driver!), Honey's dark-haired disguise, and the final fight scene are all highlights. But what I like most about this episode is the twist at the end. It worked. I didn't see that coming at all. Very nicely played.

In this episodes edition of Name That Character Actor, we have two winners: Henry Jones (another one of those "You'd know him if you saw him" kind of guys) and Leon Askin (best known as General Burkhalter from Hogan's Heroes). Casts like this are another reason I enjoy Honey West so much.

Some location shooting at Griffith Observatory. A high speed car chase leading to Honey West's client to die and a snow globe.

Then there is that car phone, handy to call the police.

Honey and Sam bicker as they try to figure out the importance of the snow globe. At the same time some baddies are after Honey and there is a European tycoon who has thrown a lavish party.

The snow is cocaine and it was a way to distribute the profits at a party.

I wonder if Quentin Tarantino was inspired by the action in this episode for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
