synopsis
Sgt. Friday (Jack Webb) is outraged when safecracker Conrad Buckley (Eddie Firestone) is acquitted by a jury on a technicality. Even though the case is officially closed, Friday and his partner Jacobs refuse to give up in their efforts to nail Buckley. There's only one thing to do: catch the perpetrator in the act--and this time make sure that the evidence sticks! Based on a radio play first broadcast on October 20, 1949, this last episode of Dragnet's first TV season also marks the final appearance of Barney Phillips as Sgt. Ed Jacobs.
