This is a good example of why Dragnet was such a good show. Police work and how the criminal justice system works are carefully blended in with humor and suspense to create a perfect half hour show. In this episode the Los Angeles Police Department learns that four teenagers, two of whom are deserters from the Army are coming to Los Angeles. With little to go on they set out to catch them before they can commit any crimes.
Working with little information they finally learn where the boys have been staying and set up a stakeout. Eventually all four are captured. They boys were staying in a small hotel, and the clerk at the hotel is a drunk. Every time Sargeant Friday yells "Hands up" the clerk raises his hands. He keeps them up until Friday tells him to lower his hands.
The most notable thing in this episode is that Leonard Nemoy plays one of the thugs in one of his earliest television appearances.
