Dragnet: The Big Juke Box (1958)
A gang of racketeers has set up an illegal juke-box racket in the LA area. Tavern and restaurant owners are being strongarmed into installing jukeboxes under threat of damage to their property or worse. Friday (Jack Webb) poses as the owner of a small bar to bring the extortionists out in the open. The supporting cast is a fascinating one in this episode, including popular Los Angeles deejay Dick Whittinghill), former silent-movie westerns star Edmund Cobb, and perennial Stanley Kubrick supporting player Joseph Turkel (Paths of Glory, The Shining). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
