synopsis
Working undercover, Friday (Jack Webb) poses as a hit man, hired by Charles Stone (Vic Perrin) to kill Stone's wife (Helen Kleeb). Not unexpectedly, the killing doesn't take place and Stone is arrested--but there's a surprise in store for Friday, courtesy of the incredibly forgiving Mrs. Stone. Based on a radio episode of Dragnet which originally aired on September 28, 1950, this TV version features Ken Peters as Friday's temporary partner Sgt. Bill Cummings, replacing the late Barton Yarborough as Ben Romero (Romero's absence is explained away as "A pretty bad case of the virus.")
