Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) investigate when a moderately wealthy woman named Dorothy Wagner commits suicide. It turns out that the 42-year-old woman had been robbed and jilted by con artist Carlton Reynolds (Myron Cook), who specializes in preying upon lonely, gullible women with money. The detectives are assisted in tracking down Reynolds by another chiseler (Julie Bennett) who turns the tables on the "serial jilter." This episode is based on the Dragnet radio broadcast of February 7, 1952.
