Erstwhile bookie Harry Lawrence (Paul Bryar) contacts Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) to inform them that a "bad cop" may be in their midst. A man identifying himself as police officer Ray Williams has been shaking down Harry and other bookies for hush money, and this story is confirmed by another of Williams' victims, hairdresser Myra Thomas (Jeanne Tatum). It turns out that most of the story is true--except for the actual identity of the elusive Ray Williams. The Andy Griffith Show's future "Aunt Bee" Frances Bavier delivers a surprisingly vitriolic peformance as Lawrence's wife in this episode, which was based on the Dragnet radio broadcast of May 22, 1952. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
