Dragnet - "Myra, the Redhead"
Joe Friday and Ben Romero are working in the robbery division investigating a spate of car break-ins which are happening all over the greater Los Angeles area.
When they finally catch a 20-year old in the act of stealing a car radio, their interrogation techniques, which are a really interesting to follow, open up the case and lead them to the ring-leader, a beautiful and shapely red-head by the name of Myra.
Good example of how this police procedural program grabbed an early audience that stayed with them.
Featuring: Jack Webb, Barton Yarborough, Raymond Burr
