Partridge Family "Storybook Love,"

Written by Dale McRaven
Produced by Larry Rosen
Directed by Jerry London
Original Air Date: March 30, 1973
The Partridge Family attend a lecture by Michelangelo Rezo, a famous mystery writer. After the lecture they meet him and the discussion leads to the fact that everyone but Rezo feels that his stories are more fantasy than true-to-life. Rezo believes that using human nature and logic, anything is possible. In order to prove his point, Rezo offers the Partridges a deal they can't refuse. He will give them a two-hour head start and then begin looking for them; if he can't locate them within 24 hours, he will donate $25,000 to their favorite charity.
The next morning the chase begins. No matter where they go, Rezo and his agent, Lazaar Hannibal, seem to turn up. The family pretends to leave their house and drive around for an hour before returning to the house -- thinking that's the last place he'd look. When they get out of the car, Rezo is waiting. Shirley leaves the younger children, Chris and Tracy, at Mrs. Monihan's because the chase will be too much for them.
Trying to figure out how Rezo always finds them, Keith searches the car and finds a "bug." The Partridges use the bug to lead Rezo on a wild goose chase out to Cronos Caverns, 100 miles away. Thinking they are home free, the Partridges are surprised when Rezo walks in. He explains that the farther he got from town, the weaker the signal from the bug became, and the closer he got to the Partridge home the stronger it became. Shirley says he has still lost the bet since he hasn't found all the Partridges -- where are Chris and Tracy?
At the show where Rezo turns the check for $25,000 over to the charity, Shirley learns from the younger children that Rezo had visited them at Mrs. Monihan's, right after they had arrived there. He had known all along, but donated the money anyway.

MY FAVORITE SONG. BY THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY.

[@barbarakirk5248]

This song reminds me when the first boy carried my books home from school in Grade 4. Barb

[@DrQuizzler]

Another wonderful PF/DC song, showing off his amazing performing style and his silky smooth vocals. Other cool elements were: Laurie on the autoharp, Shirley's backup singing as always. Danny on the guitar looks like he's experimenting with strumming different places on the strings. I wonder if a bunch of people ran out and bought autoharps when this first aired, and I wonder if an autoharp can play all the chords in this song, but it sure looked cool here.

[@Bub4055]

I heard people would come up to Chris and tell him that he is the reason they took up the drums 🥁

[@edinburghmarc]

fantastic quality! love it.

[@maryannjacobs6854]

I. Will love. David. For Ever. The songs he sung was sad songs and. It make you. Cry. All. The. Time. Ok maryannjacobs Ashland. Ky
