Edith Curtis (Virginia Brissac) informs the police that her son Jeff has been murdered in his own home. Detectives Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) cannot help but notice that Mrs. Curtis seems unusually calm about her son's death, chalking it up to "The Lord's will." Further investigation reveals that the woman's daughter had previously committed suicide--and that the boyfriend of the dead girl had warned Mrs. Curtis that her "meddling" would backfire someday. The truth is brought to light when the detectives pay a visit to Mrs. Curtis' attic--and find the murder weapon. This episode was inspired by the Dragnet radio broadcast of October 12, 1952. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
