synopsis
Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) set their sights on a forger who has been passing phony payroll checks all over town. Working on fragmentary evidence, the detectives conclude that the forger is driving a flashy rented convertible, and is frequently seen in the company of an equally flashy blonde. Once in custody, the criminal doles out a sob story about turning to crime for the sake of his sweet, innocent wife--who is neither of the above! This episode is based on the Dragnet radio broadcast of June 28, 1955.
