The LikeTelevision™ classic TV channel presents another terrific episode of Dragnet, starring our favorite TV cop, Jack Webb as Sgt. Joe Friday. In this episode - The Big Seventeen - Joe is working hard to find a 17 year old kid who has a stolen a bunch of high grade heroin. If he starts selling it to other kids - Joe fears a lot of kids will overdose on the uncut drugs. But - the police are too late, and the kid who stole the drugs dies of a drug overdose. Overall, a terrific Dragnet episode - also features an interesting part where the kids went crazy and trashed the movie theater. And the owner turns over a little box filled with drugs to Joe. What's in the box? Two joints of marijuana. Is that what I think it is. I am not wrong am I?? Joe responds - no sir, no mistake, it marijuana.
