Episode 25: Bunco Detail--Harry Girard (Program not available--"Placing a long distance call in 1949" substituted.)

This episode of Dragnet first aired on November 17, 1949, but there is no known recording of the episode. Plot: Citizens swindled out of $200,000. Note: When a program in the series is not available, I will substitute an MP3 file relevant to Dragnet, as provided by the good people of the Old Time Radio Researchers Group. Today's item is a clip from Dragnet that illustrates the procedure for placing a long distance phone call in 1949. --Angelo Bonadonna, Podcast Host ([email protected])
