About this episode
On Christmas morning, a woman's brutally beaten body is discovered outside San Andreas Cathedral. Sergeant Joe Friday and Ben Romero follow a sparse trail of clues—an ordinary key, a cheap pen, and a set of boot prints—leading them into the rain-soaked streets of Los Angeles. As they sift through the city's shadows, they uncover a web of deception and desperation that brings them face-to-face with a dangerous killer. Originally aired: May 25, 1950.
