Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) haul in a suspect on suspicion of pulling off a $200,000 robbery. But it looks like the suspect may be able beat the rap when he refuses to reveal the name of his accomplice or the location of the stolen money. All this changes when the body of the alleged accomplice is found in the desert--the victim of a hit-and-run! Familiar 1940s film actress Helen Walker shows up in a flashy supporting role. This episode was adapted from the Dragnet radio broadcast of May 10, 1955. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
