synopsis
Operating out of the Bunco division, Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) set their sights on a "lonely hearts" con artist. The criminal in question places newspaper ads for female companionship, then proposes to his victims, steals all their money, and skips town. Watch for versatile voiceover artist Dal McKennon of "Gumby" fame in a supporting role. This episode was adapted from the Dragnet radio broadcast of March 29, 1951.
