Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Sixteen men have been robbed, beaten and in some cases shot by a hitchhiker. What sets this case apart from the rest is the description of the assailant as a tall, beautiful and very strong young woman. Friday (Joe Friday) and Smith (Ben Alexander) set up a trap to capture the "big girl"--assuming that the perpetrator really is a girl! This oft-revived black and white episode was adapted from the Dragnet radio broadcast of February 9, 1950.
