In this vintage black-and-white Dragnet episode, Sgt. Joe Friday (Jack Webb) is given a guided tour through the LAPD's new Police Adminstration Building by his longtime partner, detective Frank Smith (Ben Alexander). Throughut the tour, Frank points out that the new headquarters have been designed as much for comfort as efficiency, with such "perks" as piped-in Musak and heat-operated elevators. And in time-honored Dragnet tradition, there are glimpses aplenty of the forensic labs, the interrogation rooms, the business office, etc. Filmed on location in what would one day be renamed the Parker Center (in honor of former police chief Frank Parker), this all-but-plotless episode serves to introduce Marjie Millar in the role of Joe Friday's off-and-on girlfriend Sharon Maxwell.
