The Red Light Bandit
Aired: Jul 14th, 1949. A fake motorcycle cop with a flashing red light is terrorizing Los Angeles, pulling over drivers and beating them senseless before robbing them blind. Sergeant Friday and his partner Ben Romero race from crime scene to crime scene as the attacks escalate, while a recently paroled ex-con with a grudge pays them an unsettling visit. Classic just-the-facts Dragnet tension as the detectives work to unmask a criminal hiding behind a badge.
