- An investigation into a shoplifting spree leads Friday to suspect a mentally unstable woman.
Director: Jack Webb
Writer: Jack Webb
Starring: Jack Webb, Ben Alexander, Olan Soule, Vic Perrin
If Jack Webb could see the theft in California today he'd never stop crying.
Notice one thing about these episodes. They took place at a time and in an era where the Ten Commandments were still posted in schools. Then the ACLU had them removed...
Assumng that is true, a lot of good it did to prevent her from stealing.
And Let's Recall That The Pledge of Allegiance🎉 Was Spoken🗣 in Home Room to Begin The Day😊
Interestingly, Peggy Webber also voiced, in the radio show, Joe Fridays mother!
The Klepto- Peggy Webber- was a member of a small group of female actors Jack Webb used on a consistent basis, even on the reboots of Dragnet years later, if you were loyal to him, he took care of you. In an interview with Peggy about the life of Jack Webb and working as a regular cast members in the Color TV series Dragnet, was going through a messy divorce from her first husband. Creator, director and her boss of the Dragnet series Jack Webb was a huge help to Peggy in handling her divorce with financial and personal advice. She too, was a very talented actress, and creator- Webber created "Oh Miss Tubbs" with Verna Felton, Arthur Q. Bryan, John Brown, Walter Tetley and Jane Morgan. CBS took an option but then created "Our Miss Brooks" with many of the same characters.
Thanks for the heads up hank!!!
She also played in 2 HIGHWAY PATROL episode's. A smart attractive lady
Great actress
Peggy played the vice principal in the case where the college student enrolled herself in high school.
Like "Dragnet", "Our Miss Brooks" started on the radio, went to TV and then became a movie. Eve Arden and Gale Gordan where in all 3 playing the same role.
Lowliness is not the worst thing, being with people you can't tolerate is! Love these old B&W's! Thank you.
I am using this on a profile of mine, as you are right, screen shot because it is your word.
Originally telecast on March 11, 1954, and adapted from an October 11, 1951 radio episode.
interesting how they keep checking all know shoplifters in the city...try that in L A today.😅
Jack Webb is A Savage!!!
A one woman shoplifting spree on Wilshire Boulevard. I am impressed. 🙂
Thief…”there has to be an answer someplace”
Joe Friday..”there is….BUT YOU WON’T FIND IT IN JAIL”
DAAAADAAADAHDAH…😂😂😂😂😂😂
8:18, "the only thing I took home from the store was my paycheck"
And coffee, cold pills, toilet paper..........
4:30 only 6 of 14 in her section but the suspicion is on her. The other 8 could not possibly have anything to do with it.
Thanks for posting these programs they are great 👍
Surveillance on shoplifting? Crime has come a long way
yeah, now they watch the thieves steal from them on camera
I was expecting Friday or Smith to ask the woman if she wears glasses
This woman thought it was no big deal she stole out of loneliness. In doing so she destroyed the reputation of a young sales girl who depended on her trust & honesty in her line of employment. I hope she was given a full apology by the Thief and prior employment plus it should be noted in the media. The sales girl should be compensated $ from the thief. I feel bad for the sales girl for there will always be someone who remembers' the thief & why she left the job no knowing she was cleared.
These shows are before the warning about smoking.
YA THINK, STUPID?!? 🙄😣😠
@@dariowiter3078 Nice language.
The guy talking from personal played on the Andy Griffin show.
anyone on andy griffith was probably in every other show in the 50's and 60's. i don't know if it's possible to have *not* been in 'gunsmoke,' lol. it's fun spotting these actors in different shows. i was watching 'columbo' the other and was like, 'oh, hey, it's that medicine man guy from andy griffith.'
I hope the police were able to clear that salesgirl's reputation with the dept. store she used to work at, let them know that she was innocent. I know what its like to be falsely accused by an employer.
These days, the employees are the biggest thieves.
No, the corporations and oligarchs are.
❤ love dragnet ❤
If they could see the shoplifting in 2023, they'd be in shock.
Very sad story.
Peggy had also stolen a baby in "The Big Mother" 1/31/52. Got to watch out for that lady! Seriously, she was one of Jack Webb's favorite actresses and you can see why here. She's still with us at age 98!. She was only three years older than Allene Roberts, who was actually 24 when she played the 15-year-old. She died 5 years ago at the age of 90!. The original Dranet was a long time ago. We can all be glad that the episodes have been preserved and can be seen on You-Tube!
I have a hard time believing the wife of a Beverly Hills physician would go to prison. Her husband would pay them back, and it would be swept under the rug. A poor kid would go to prison.
@Dorien Fletcher, because she so tight, she squeaks when walking.
Also, she had a mental illness, kleptomania. She may have been given a suspended sentence, community work and required to get psychological treatment. But maybe they didn't have those options then- Maybe the husband used it as an excuse to get rid of her, divorced her and marries his receptionist. :)
@@ShereeR99 😁
No kidding. Rich people rarely go to prison, not that many of them don’t deserve it.
Maybe today but back when the show was made shoplifting was taken seriously and so is the criminal justice system now.
it's a big joke.
In San Francisco they won't even charge you with a crime if you don't steal more than $950 worth of merchandise
I worked with loss prevention in a large retail chain. Percentage wise, 40% of theft was done by customers and 40% was due to staff theft (10% of shrinkage was down to stocktaking errors). Of course these days we have the ability to place cameras in departments where losses are significant as identified by analysis of the point of sale data. These camera placements would be done after hours.
fast forward to 2024 and shoplifting is destroying big cities.
There's Alene Roberts from the first season of the Adventures of Superman
Here's the irony if it happened today they would have called the bomb squad to see if it wasn't a bomb.
Peggy Webber!
There's no way that LAPD would have a shoplifting detail today, much less put their top detectives on the trail.
Today they're not even allowed to interfere with rioters or looters.
In those days a joint would get you jail time.... AFTER the obligatory beating.....
@@henryhorner3182 Ignorant statement.
@@booklover6753 not
They don't even care about shoplifters now.
I think they do if they catch them.
I was going to say that also....stealing ANYTHING was bad news and not really that long ago from the frontier justice....also thieves were thought of as real honest to goodness pieces if s_hit.even family was ashamed. ..which was a good thing. thank you.
Parts of this plot appear to be based on the Black Dahlia story!
I knew I had seen Peggy webber somewhere but couldn’t recall.
Is that Peggy?
She was also in the 60s dragnet
Everyone smoked because the sponsor was Chesterfield cigarettes -
Chesterfield cigarettes' pitchman was Ronald Reagan.
"There has to be something!" Yes, there is, lady. Get a job. Volunteer. Make friends and do activities with them.
Pretty lady
2:00 Not able to renew insurance? I seriously doubt any insurance company would cover such a loss.
Well...Yes!
Let me get this straight: Friday and Smith knock on a door, the fifteen-year-old girl opens up, and they begin throwing questions at her without any parental consent? Creepy as hell..!!😮
The way everyone was going on about how beautiful she was, and she turns out to be the sourpuss mom from Space Children?! JEEZ!!!
The lady thief? I thought she was hot!
@@JohnPMitten You wouldn't be saying that if you'd watched The Space Children! They ran in (and her!) through the shredder on Mystery Science Theater 3000 a while back. I think it's on RUclips. You should watch it!
@@JohnPMitten I would have banged her on the reg. That shoplifting stuff would have been the last thing on her mind waiting for my salami roll every day.
She needs a shrink, not jail. And maybe a few friends.
Is there such a thing as "Shoplifters Anonymous?"
Obsessive-compulsive behavioral disorder? Severe and disabling personality disorder
resulting in pathological dishonesty? Some of those turn up in surprisingly prominent places.
Kleptomaniac, a perfect candidate for Captain Dementia's Cabinet.
That describes that N-word b**** Kamala Harris to a "T." 😒
@@dariowiter3078 Don't forget slime bucket Willie Brown's sponge.
Hey donkey dork and friends....Stupid is a condition, ignorance is a choice.
3:25 Only a half dozen known shoplifters in Los Angeles? 😅
But shoplifting's now legal in cali, or at least decriminalized! You're outta a job Joe.
21:03 good ole shorthand.
Deep Understanding more than what the police duo had for the beauty. Umm lady o the surgeon
Why did they use the word big in most titles? Like Big Shoplifter, The Big Rod or The Big Actor? It's like today, where everything is "super", like super hard, super expensive, etc. I guess "super" is the word of today's generation.
Shoplifting is legal. Ask anyone from the inner cities.
2:00 Insurance does not cover shoplifting losses.
Peggy Webber was in her 20s here 29
Peggy Webber ... Born: 15 September 1925 (age 98 years)
Nice to see white collar crime, non violet crimes.
Shoplifting is a blue collar crime, champ.
Frank needs to lose a few pounds, I do not think he could pass a LAPD Physical.
And Harry Morgan would have had to grow several inches for the same reason...
They did tend to pick nice looking women for this show. No visits to the trailer park. :-)
She was a looker!
Not the best episode, but thanks for the video
whenever we believe we are entitled to happiness, we behave stupidly.
I wonder if she’s still serving her time...🤔
Lisa,
considering that was filmed in the early to mid 50s, she's probably dead
@@bertgrau9246 Nope still going strong at 95 years young
@@kachoo2135 ya, she's amazing.
She's barren
@@leondillon8723 With the wife in prison maybe he found his Anne Boleyn.
Sounds like her hubby wasn't attending to his duties there. That woman needed a regular bang - as in a couple times a day.
Such innocent times. Now shoplifting is legal.
The story you're about to see is true, only the names, the dialog, the sequence of events and the way Friday always gets the last word has been changed.Jack Webbs alcoholism is not portrayed
Her hair wasn't that pretty.
