Dragnet | Old Time Radio episodes

  • Dragnet - "Sullivan Kidnapping - the Wolf" (Old Time Radio, 1949)
    Dragnet presents “Sullivan Kidnapping - the Wolf,” episode 15, originally broadcast on NBC on September 10, 1949. This early sustaining broadcast stars Jack Webb as Detective Sergeant Joe Friday and Barton Yarborough as Sergeant Ben Romero.

    When Judith Sullivan, the 22-year-old daughter of a bank vice president, disappears, a $30,000 ransom demand signed by “The Wolf” puts the Homicide Detail on a pressing kidnapping case. Written by James E. Moser and produced by Jack Webb, the episode follows Friday and Romero’s focused investigation without giving away where it leads.

    Dragnet presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
