Preston Foster, a very under rated actor. Starred in Waterfront. Great flick.

Whoa! Just whoa!

I think this the same story as one from Dragnet.

Sadly these events happen in real life without making them up!

[@lawrence8374]

Was this a series or an unsold pilot??

[@MoviecraftInc]

Really not sure..it could be, but I have no information to substantiate it.

It was a TV anthology series called the General Electric Theater. Before my time but I remember my parents watching it. It was hosted by Ronald Reagan.
