Four Episodes on every DVD! The criminal kind stand no chance at all with these tough investigators on the case! From Sgt. Friday's iron resolve, to the Gangbusters who protect us from the scourge of the underworld, to the prosecutors who see to it that these fellows are locked away, these riveting TV episodes from the annals of Law & Justice pay well-deserved tribute to those brave men and women whose duty it is to guard society from the blight of crime!

Dragnet - Big Seventeen - 1952 - 26 minutes - Black & White - Season 2 - Episode 4 - The story you are about to see is true. Dragnet was based on an early 1949 radio show called of the same name. It starred Jack Webb as Sgt. Joe Friday, a dedicated cop whose life seemed void of any interests other than being in law enforcement. He coined the phrase, "just the facts ma'am" which made him appear polite even though a little overzealous at times. "We were working the day watch" and other catch phrases - so popular as to inspire much parody - set the realistic tone of this early police drama. The show emphasized careful police work and the interweaving of policemen's professional and personal lives. A timeless classic - always entertaining. In this episode of the series, Herb Ellis plays the part of Frank Smith. The mounting tension and crime among local youths lead Sergeants Friday and Smith to a narcotics ring run by a neighborhood teenager. A brutal attack and theft of narcotics lead to a manhunt for the young ring leader. Police procedures lead to a shocking climax that parallels todayıs events!

Public Defender - Behind Bars - 1955 - 25 minutes - Black & White - Legal drama about a scrupulous public defender who makes sure all his clients get their day in court and treated fairly. In this episode a woman is accused of murder.

Gangbusters - Durable Mike Malloy - 1952 - 26 minutes - Black & White - These action packed stories were taken from the files of local Police, State Police, and FBI offices. Gangbusters is based on the well-known network radio show which ran from 1936-1957. The Gangbusters TV version ended its telecast with a photo of one of the nation's most wanted lawbreakers, resulting in the apprehension of many major criminals. During the fall of 1952 Gangbusters averaged an unheard of 42 rating, garnering virtually all the audience available in its time slot. Nevertheless, this police anthology series left the air in December 1952, making it probably the highest rated program ever to be cancelled in the history of television. In this episode two shady characters find out that the town drunk has taken out an extensive life insurance policy on himself, and so they decide to test it out.

Racket Squad - Two For One - 1951 - 26 minutes - Black & White - Season 2 - Episode 9 - Reed Hadley stars in this classic TV crime drama as Capt. John Braddock, who hosts a series of episodes dealing with the scams and cons the criminals of America perpetrate every day. In this episode a normally honest businessman (John Eldredge) close to bankruptcy tries for easy money when he is offered $20,000 in counterfeit money for $10,000 in legitimate currency.

Picture-Quality varies on the DVD as each film has experienced the ravages of time!!
