Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The object of the search conducted by police detectives Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) is a thief who specializes in stealing costume jewelry. The only other clue the detectives have to go on is the footprint made by someone wearing a very expensive tennis shoe. The most likely suspect would seem to be Alec McCarron (Jimmy Ogg), the son of a wealthy family--but it turns out that the detectives have been following a false lead. This episode is based on the Dragnet radio broadcast of July 20, 1954.
