synopsis
Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) answer a call from a Mrs. Halmer (Lucille Vance), whose husband Jason, a mannequin salesman, has been missing for several hours. Mrs. Halmer believes she has good reason to worry: Mr. Halmer had left the house in the company of his business partner Fred Madison (Walter J. Lally)--whom Halmer was planning to turn over to the police! Trouble is, Madison has disappeared as well. Only after Halmer's abandoned car is located are the two detectives able to crack the case. This episode is a remake of the Dragnet radio broadcast of October 19, 1954.
