synopsis
An unidentified woman has been found strangled to death in a hotel room. The only clue to go on is the obvious that that the killer had extremely large hands. Investigating, Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) end up asking several probing questions of elderly circus owner Al Morgan (played by Cliff Arquette of "Charley Weaver" fame). This episode was adapted from the Dragnet radio broadcast of November 21, 1951.
