The Nursery Man
Aired: Sep 3rd, 1949. When a nursery owner reports his wife missing, Sergeant Joe Friday and Ben Romero smell something wrong: her purse, her clothes, even her cash are all still at home. As the woman's teenage son secretly reaches out to police with his own suspicions about his stepfather, Friday and Romero head out to a walled, dog-guarded flower nursery to get answers. A tense, atmospheric entry from Dragnet's earliest days that shows the show's documentary-style style in full force.
