Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Out-of-town watch salesman Herbert Liggins (Kort Falkenberg) claims that he was robbed of his sample case by two men with whom he'd had a few drinks at a bar. Friday (Jack Webb) and Smith (Ben Alexander) aren't buying Liggins' story, which has holes one could drive a truck through. Finally, the salesman breaks down and confesses that the thief was a woman whom he'd invited to his hotel room. Leaving the embarrassed victim to mull over his bad judgment, the two detectives set their sights on recovering the stolen goods and bringing the female felon to justice. This episode is a remake of the Dragnet radio broadcast of March 22, 1955.
