My Favorite 1960s Dragnet #14: The Bank Examiner Swindle

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

This Season 1 epsiode was a classic Dragmet bunco story.  Even though the crime was non-violent, the show established how much harm was done by swindling senior citizens. 

This episode was the earliest episode featuring Bust Martin, though his role was not as prominent as it would be in future shows. The episode had a great payoff in the final scene that makes it truly a must-watch.
