The LAPD scours the city in search of "The Bull", vicious leader of a robbery gang. Although his henchmen have all been arrested and his criminal associates have shunned him, "The Bull" is still full of bravado, threatening to harm the family of detective Frank Smith (Ben Alexander) unless he is allowed to go free. Acting on a tip, Smith and his patner Joe Friday (Jack Webb) stake out a bar where "The Bull" plans to purchase a gun. An excellent study of the personal sacrifices made by police officers in their pursuit of justice, this episode was adapted from the Dragnet radio broadcast of September 14, 1952.
