Dragnet - "The Big Saw Afrs" (Old Time Radio, 1954)
Published 4 weeks ago
Description
Dragnet presents “The Big Saw,” episode 242, originally broadcast on April 6, 1954. Jack Webb stars as LAPD Sgt. Joe Friday, with Ben Alexander as Officer Frank Smith, in a story written by John Robinson and directed by Webb.
Assigned to Robbery Detail in Los Angeles after a bank holdup by two masked gunmen, Friday and Smith work from scant early evidence. A customer’s identification and a lead involving a car-rental agency set the detectives on the trail in this methodical, evidence-driven case. The surviving recording is an AFRS rebroadcast of the original NBC program.
The 50 Greatest Old Time Radio Shows presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
