synopsis
Bank robber Bud Carey goes on the lam after brutally killing a bank guard during his latest heist. Taking no chances, Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) summon the aid of all police departments in the Los Angeles area to track down the armed-and-dangerous suspect. When it develops that Carey is holding a woman captive in her own home, drastic measures are called for--including machine guns and tear gas. This unusually action-packed episode is based on the Dragnet radio broadcast of March 8, 1956.
