If I recall correctly, Perry White's car phone was powered by a hand-crank generator. I have the entire series on DVD, and in this case, I seem to remember that episode pretty well. I believe it was the one where he and Jimmy were vacationing on an island populated by a family of counterfeiters who were using the old haunted house scam to cover their crimes, because you know once a place gets a reputation for being haunted, people stay far away from it. Just ask the thousands of visitors that flock to the Whaley House in San Diego, California each year in hopes of catching a glimpse of the ghost of a Whaley family member who died inside the house if that isn't true.
