Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) investigate when a moderately wealthy woman named Dorothy Wagner commits suicide. It turns out that the 42-year-old woman had been robbed and jilted by con artist Carlton Reynolds (Myron Cook), who specializes in preying upon lonely, gullible women with money. The detectives are assisted in tracking down Reynolds by another chiseler (Julie Bennett) who turns the tables on the "serial jilter." This episode is based on the Dragnet radio broadcast of February 7, 1952. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
- 1956
A juvenile delinquent in the "holding tank" lets slip that his older brother is planning to rob a loan office. Though Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) do their best to head off the holdup man, the robbery goes off exactly as scheduled. All the detectives can hope for is that the outlaw's limp will slow him down long enough to be arrested. Iconic 1940s "pin-up girl" Mary Beth Hughes has a flashy role as the perpetrator's fed-up wife. This episode was adapted from the Dragnet radio broadcast of June 7, 1955. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
