The Big Pair

A quiet Los Angeles neighborhood becomes the hunting ground for a pair of burglars stripping entire homes of their furniture while families are away. With no solid leads and a city full of moving vans, Sergeant Joe Friday and Ben Romero set a trap: a network of decoy houses baited to draw the thieves out. When the suspects finally take the hook, the result is a tense takedown that exposes a husband-and-wife team running a fast-moving, citywide racket. Originally aired: September 21, 1950.
