synopsis
The higher-ups exert a great deal of pressure on Sgt. Friday's boss Captain Donahoe (Walter Sande) to nab the two men who beat city councilman Jeffrey Hanks to death outside a bar. Working on a tip provided by a drunken witness, Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) take into custody one Derwin Holbrook--but they've been led up the entirely wrong path. This episode was adapted from the Dragnet radio broadcast of March 15, 1955.
