The Big Present

Description

Police raid moving gambling operations, and one officer gets killed. George Delano appears to run the gambling ring. The Mystery Writers Of America give their Edgar Allan Poe Award to Dragnet again and to writer Jim Moser. Moser takes the award during the show.

Dragnet is an American radio series, enacting the cases of a dedicated Los Angeles police detective, Sergeant Joe Friday, and his partners. The show took its name from the police term "dragnet", meaning a system of coordinated measures for apprehending criminals or suspects.
