About this listen

A routine narcotics investigation leads Sergeant Joe Friday and Officer Ben Romero into the seedy underworld of Los Angeles. When an informant named Benny Trounsel turns up dead, the trail of heroin smuggling and betrayal runs deeper than anyone expected. This hard-boiled episode captures Dragnet at its finest—gritty realism, sharp dialogue, and a haunting look at crime on the streets of mid-century America.
