Dragnet: The Big Lift

Joe Friday and Frank Smith are assigned to the forgery detail, shoplifting division. For six weeks they have been trying to catch a major department store shoplifting ring.

Their M.O. is simple: Two of the members keep a clerk distracted while a third walks off with expensive suits and coats.

When a man walks into a store trying to sell an assortment of suits, however, the scheme begins to unravel.
