Dragnet - "Big Pipe" (Old Time Radio, 1954)

from Dragnet | Old Time Radio Hosted by Old Time Retro Radio

Dragnet presents “Big Pipe,” episode 236 of the classic NBC Radio series, originally broadcast February 23, 1954. Jack Webb stars as Sgt. Joe Friday, alongside Ben Alexander as Officer Frank Smith. When Ada Fitzgerald is found murdered in a downtown Los Angeles office building, Friday and Smith follow the evidence from a lead-pipe weapon to the victim’s personal and business connections. Written by John Robinson, this tense Homicide detail investigation builds its case through witness interviews and the facts at hand. Dragnet presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
