My Favorite 1960s Dragnet #24: The Badge Racket

Dragnet told the story of a lot of bunco cons. For pure audacity, this one may have taken the cake, as it involves the cons impersonating policemen and taking their victims, out of town businessmen, to the police station and shaking them down for bail money. To solve the case, Bill Gannon goes undercover.

This is a fantastic episode with a great payoff at the end.
