It appears to be a simple case of hit-and-run when the body of Eddie Stokes is found in a gutter. When they question Stokes' ex-wife, Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) learn that the dead man was a hopeless drunk, which seems to confirm the theory as to cause of death. But when several witnesses to the "accident" give the exact same story, word for word, the detectives begin to suspect that Eddie was the victim of foul play. Future Addams Family star Carolyn Jones plays a key role in this episode, which was based on the Dragnet radio broadcast of July 6, 1950. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
