A particularly vicious "strong-arm" bandit has been preying on innocent downtown pedestrians. Police detectives Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) take turns as "decoy" and "lookout" in hopes of bringing the miscreant out in the open. Despite its violent nature, this final episode of Dragnet's fourth TV season (which was based on a radio broadcast originally heard on January 4, 1955) was among those adapted by author Richard Deming for a 1957 children's paperback book based on the TV series. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
