This episode of "Dragnet" is more targeted to education than most, as it gives the viewer tips in order to avoid burglaries when you are off on vacation. It begins with an adorable little girl (Beverly Washburn) going to the police station to report a burglary. It seems that her grandfather is disabled and he told her to go get the police! When the detectives arrive, the see that EVERYTHING is the home is gone...everything. Soon, other such robberies are also reported. In each case, the folks were out of town and the home was left bare. Can the detectives get to the bottom of this?
This is an enjoyable but relatively ordinary episode. Aside from seeing Washburn act (and I love seeing a child actor who can really act--they are RARE) and watching Friday slug one of the thieves, it's not particularly remarkable one way or the other. It's still worth seeing and you probably won't be disappointed.
