OTR Mysteries - Dragnet

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
Original Air Date: September 1, 1949 on NBC.
