Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Herb Ellis) investigate the trashing of a movie theater by a gang of teenagers. In typical Dragnet fashion, it turns out that the kids were all high on marijuana. Harold Everson Sr. (Willis Bouchey), the father of youthful drug pusher Hal Everson (Edwin Bruce), refuses to believe that his son is guilty of anything other than high spirits--but the boy ends up proving his Dad wrong in a spectaculary violent fashion. This episode is based on the Dragnet radio program first heard on September 6, 1951.
