Synopsis of Dragnet: The Big Deal
The rate of recovery for stolen vehicles has dropped to an all-time low, and Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) want to know why. With information provided by a former thief (and current forger!), the detectives are able to close down on an unusually efficient auto-theft ring. Movie buffs will easily recognize supporting player Thomas E. Jackson as the same man who played police detective Flaherty in the 1931 crime classic Little Caesar. One of several black and white Dragnet episodes to lapse into public demand, thus making it eminently accessible to the home-video market, this installment is based on the Dragnet radio broadcast of April 19, 1955. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
