Synopsis of Dragnet: The Big Light
This time, Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) "go Hollywood" to investigate a fatal accident at a movie studio. The victim was film director Henry Wilson, who was killed by a falling arc light. That the accident was no accident is proven when the detectives find a small piece of fabric in the light grid. At the root of the tragedy is a cruel practical joke--but in the end, no one is laughing. Adapted from the Dragnet radio broadcast of November 14, 1952, this episode offers the viewer some tantalizing behind-the-scenes glimpses of the Republic Studios soundstage where the TV series was filmed. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
