Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) search for a check forger who has been using the name of old-time movie villain Parker Allington. The detectives are given a lead by one of the forger's would-be victims, a dedicated movie buff who is well aware that Parker Allington has been dead for three years. Ultimately, the search narrows down to a shabby Hollywood bit player who has given up acting in favor of bunco. This episode was adapted from the Dragnet radio broadcast of January 25, 1955. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
