The heart of man is deceitful above all things and is desperately wicked.
Jeremiah 31?
Machine gun dialogue…classic Webb.
I grew up with Jack Webb. I’m a retired Marine. Jack Webb as the D.I. Was our Marine Corps.
Didn’t he make a movie about that
Very reassuring to watch this Show.
"You're going to have one this year lady."
That was a great line.
The young lady is so sweet and innocent ☺
I felt sorry for her 😢….she was crying…
Holy Shorthand Batman...the stenographer could take my deposition anytime ☺
Oh, well said old boy 🙂
Originally telecast on September 24, 1953, and adapted from a November 23, 1950 radio episode.
$80 might not sound like much to lose but that was 1953. 70 years later, we are looking at ~$900 for a fake wristwatch and pen/cil set. And $250 back then is nearly 3 grand now--for a phony necklace and stationery kit.
More than a weeks take home in those days....
In 1969 my dad charged 68$ a month for a one-bedroom apartment in the San Francisco Bay Area. So yeah... That's a lot in the 1950s.
5:26, This actor also appeared in the episode "The Big Hit Run Killer."
Hey !! That is the plot of "paper moon"
❤ love dragnet ❤
Gotta love a rotary phone.
Adds to the suspense.
@@stevethomas2285 Dial 'M' for murder.
This was a hoot. Gal in charge of it.
back when thieves were actually prosecuted in California.
This dialogue between Friday and the con man (19:22) is classic!
Quiet, he's on the phone
11:47
Nowadays it's more like, "Quiet the phone, I'm trying to talk."
24:42, the remaining members of the con men team got life sentences. Today in 2020 they'd probably only get their hands slapped!
Actually she got 1-10 years and they got “like” sentences, not “life”.
No they would be given a welfare check.
In California or at least San Francisco, it has to be 950 dollars before they will prosecuted.
@@cinerama62 Yea, I wouldn't doubt it!
Jack "Cop of All Trades" Webb... 'It was Thursday, June 13th. It was hot in Los Angeles. We were working the bunko division... the homicide division... the missing persons division... the vice squad... robbery division...traffic division... lost dog division... jay-walking division... All the other cops were on standby duty.'
I am Jack Webb. And retired on Key West
Reminds me of the bible scam, as seen in the film Paper Moon. BTW, Paper Moon has just come on youtube for free. It's a GREAT movie, well worth watching.
48 dollars and 30 dollars? that's about 2 or 3 weeks worth of work to get that much back then.
Who would buy a watch that,obviously,wasnt running?.....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
$78 probably the same as $780 now a days
$840
Thanks Joe Biden and Co.
Funny that in a police station they have to lock their lockers ..
Ummm...are they allowed to rifle through his suitcases like that without a warrant?
Today it requires a warrant to search an apartment or hotel room but back then the landlord could usually give consent. Maybe they got a warrant here and just left that out.
12:38, the con man sees he can no longer get away with his crime!
Scamming, still goes on, especially on UA-cam.
same scam they used in the movie Paper Moon ..wonder if they got the idea from this episode...
Tt
‘Bibles from the dead’ is an old scam.
Both shows are based on reality.
It doesn't take Hollywood script writer to dream up ways of ripping people off. Fiction is based on real life.
seems like the bad guy (Fisher) was in quite a few of the color ones.
I LIKED THE SERIES MORE WITH HARRY MORGAN.
woah, was i wrong! she is five times the beaut of donahue. mercy. who is that?
Big Betty. Swift & Cunning.
Indubidubly
5:50 ....a 'reformed' criminal....really?.....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Not much smoking in this one!
Maybe we are not watching the same episode? LOL
Better not be smoking in that baby laundry, getting that Chesterfield residue everywhere.
Feels unauthentic
Smoking a cigarette on tv is so taboo now. A guy in a leather thong with a muzzle on his face dancing in a parade in front of kids isn’t these days. This country is doomed.
Crimes weren’t so bad back then.
Ed Gein has entered the chat.
H5
makes me wonder why a cop has to put a lock on his locker in a police locker room. Aren't they supposed to be upholding/enforcing the law? Who are they trying to keep out of their lockers?
