synopsis
It looks like a case of attempted murder when a middle-aged woman is found unconscious in a gutter; preliminary evidence indicates that the woman was beaten and thrown from a moving car. Only after Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) have hauled in two suspects--one of them a sexual predator, the other the victim's allegedly abusive husband--do they learn the whole truth about the unfortunate woman. "The Big No Rain" is based on the Dragnet radio broadcast of November 3, 1953.
