Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander must wait an agonizingly long time to question Richard Tearson (Malcolm Atterbury), who was found wandering the streets, covered with knife wounds. As the victim remains under sedation, a secondary investigation reveals that his house has been burglarized and his wife has vanished--but her pocketbook remains. Upon recovery, Pearson accuses his son of robbing and stabbing him. . .an assertion that seems to carry no weight when the boy proves to have an airtight alibi.
