Dragnet - "The Big Sophomore" (Old Time Radio, 1951)
Dragnet, “The Big Sophomore” (episode 110), originally broadcast on NBC on July 19, 1951. Jack Webb stars as Sergeant Joe Friday, joined by Barton Yarborough as Sergeant Ben Romero, in this Fatima Cigarettes-sponsored radio drama.
Working the LAPD Juvenile Bureau night watch, Friday and Romero investigate a series of small food thefts from grocery stores near a local high school.
