Popular LA radio deejay Dick Whittinghill more or less plays himself in this episode, in which Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) try to find out who stole a platinum-and-diamond wristwatch worth $1500. The timepiece had been sent to radio personality Beetle Buckingham (Whittinghill) as a gift by his "number one fan" Myrna Hopkins (Virginia Vincent in an Oscar-worthy performance), who has been besieging Buckingham with on-the-air phone calls. Though at first she denies stealing the watch, Myrna finally confesses to the crime--and in the process, reveals her desperate loneliness.
