Synopsis by Hal Erickson
There's a lot more physical action than usual in this episode, in which Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) chase after an armed bandit with a history of successful jail breaks. In the course of events, the "perp" not only busts out of a county jail, but also an Army stockade. A fierce gun battle caps the action--but only after a great deal of diligent detective work and laborious research! Adapted from the Dragnet radio broadcast of December 14, 1950, this episode features the TV series' longtime production designer Harper Goff in an acting role.
