A 15-year old boy dies as the result of a cruel prank during a high school club initiation. It is up to Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) to determine whether the boy's death was accidental, or a deliberate act of murder--and if the latter is true, to figure out who exactly is to blame. Featured in the cast is character actor Joe Forte, best rememembered as the stern anti-marijuana lecturer in the 1936 camp classic Reefer Madness. This is one of a handful of sixth-season Dragnet episodes written directly for television, with no prior radio adaptation. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
