synopsis
Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) investigates the murder of shopkeeper John Wilford, whose bound-and-beaten body is found on the floor of his own haberdashery. At first it looks like robbery was the motive, but the victim's widow sends the detectives off on another trail when she reveals that Wilford was a serial philanderer--and that his latest girlfriend was a young, blonde chorus girl (played by none other than Carolyn Jones) with several other middle-aged admirers. This episode is based on the Dragnet radio broadcast of September 13, 1951.
