Dragnet – Big Gent, Part 2. ep59, 500727

Robbery Detail. As the hunt for the final Gentleman Bandit, Frank Cheney, goes on, Joe takes care of some personal business and arranges a date with his police woman friend from a few months back. Still on the run, and laying low, Cheney has been tough to catch. Not a popular inmate, plenty of prisoners seem ready to work with the cops to bring him down.

There are plenty of leads, and possible places where Cheney may be hanging out. Sailing, yacht clubs, and eye glasses all present points for the cops to be watchful. It’ll take some cautious questioning, so as to not tip any hand that the cops are zeroing in on their man.

At home, we join Dorothy and Joe’s mom in a nice luncheon with Joe. Will the matchmaking go anywhere? The pleasantries come to an end when Cheney is back at committing robberies. The trail is fresh, and there’s no time to leave town. Will the millionaire family shield the errant son, or have the tip to help clench the case?
