Sargeant Friday captures a murderer
2 July 2006
Warning: Spoilers
A beautiful blond secretary has been murdered. She was beaten to death with a heavy metal pipe wrapped in paper. The police arrest a drunken unemployed engineer two blocks from the crime scene. He is beating his head against a brick wall and saying that he does not deserved to live. He also says that he is a murderer.

At first the police think that the crime has been solved. But slowly discrepancies create doubt in their minds. They then delve deeper into the crime and new leads and a new suspect comes to their attention.

He is tracked down to a skid-row church and Friday and his parter Ed Jacobs talk him down. This is Dragnet at its best.
