The LAPD receives a tip about an imminent turf war between five different teenage gangs. Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) have ample evidence that principal agitator behind this war is seventeen-year-old Robert Barson (Dee Pollock). Unfortunately, the detective are unable to head off Barson because of the interference of his overprotective mother Edith (Natalie Masters), who insists that her "Bobby" is both innocent and misunderstood. The tragic climax only serves to prove once again that "denial" is not a river in Egypt. This episode is based on the Dragnetradio broadcast of January 17, 1952, originally titled "The Big Juvenile Division". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
