Working the Narcotics Department, Joe Friday puts a stop to a drug ring. As Joe and Frank get ready for their case, they share a few words over coffee. A phone call from an informant gets them the start they need. The drama is drawn out a bit as we take a peek into the life of the informant, and the scene as the cops pay their visit to get the promised information.
