About this listen

This Dragnet episode originally aired on November 2, 1954.

From 1949 to 1957, Dragnet pioneered new levels of realism on radio. Every crime investigated by Sergeant Joe Friday was taken from the actual case files of the Los Angeles Police Department, with only "the names changed to protect the innocent". There were multi-layered sound effects; the actors used accurate police lingo, abbreviations, and penal codes; and the show didn't shy away from stories about heinous crimes or stories that had unhappy endings. Created and produced by Jack Webb, Dragnet was much more than "just the facts".

Missing Jewelry

If you could sum up Big Locker in three words, what would they be?

Big Locker busts a jewelry theft when a ring passes to someone who doesn't know the value and tries to pawn a $1000 ring for $20. The thief beats up his girlfriend of sorts a d she squeals. Friday has become a no-nonsense type of cop.
