Notice one thing about these episodes. They took place at a time and in an era where the Ten Commandments were still posted in schools. Then the ACLU had them removed...
The Klepto- Peggy Webber- was a member of a small group of female actors Jack Webb used on a consistent basis, even on the reboots of Dragnet years later, if you were loyal to him, he took care of you. In an interview with Peggy about the life of Jack Webb and working as a regular cast members in the Color TV series Dragnet, was going through a messy divorce from her first husband. Creator, director and her boss of the Dragnet series Jack Webb was a huge help to Peggy in handling her divorce with financial and personal advice. She too, was a very talented actress, and creator- Webber created "Oh Miss Tubbs" with Verna Felton, Arthur Q. Bryan, John Brown, Walter Tetley and Jane Morgan. CBS took an option but then created "Our Miss Brooks" with many of the same characters.
Like "Dragnet", "Our Miss Brooks" started on the radio, went to TV and then became a movie. Eve Arden and Gale Gordan where in all 3 playing the same role.
This woman thought it was no big deal she stole out of loneliness. In doing so she destroyed the reputation of a young sales girl who depended on her trust & honesty in her line of employment. I hope she was given a full apology by the Thief and prior employment plus it should be noted in the media. The sales girl should be compensated $ from the thief. I feel bad for the sales girl for there will always be someone who remembers' the thief & why she left the job no knowing she was cleared.
anyone on andy griffith was probably in every other show in the 50's and 60's. i don't know if it's possible to have *not* been in 'gunsmoke,' lol. it's fun spotting these actors in different shows. i was watching 'columbo' the other and was like, 'oh, hey, it's that medicine man guy from andy griffith.'
I hope the police were able to clear that salesgirl's reputation with the dept. store she used to work at, let them know that she was innocent. I know what its like to be falsely accused by an employer.
I was going to say that also....stealing ANYTHING was bad news and not really that long ago from the frontier justice....also thieves were thought of as real honest to goodness pieces if s_hit.even family was ashamed. ..which was a good thing. thank you.
I worked with loss prevention in a large retail chain. Percentage wise, 40% of theft was done by customers and 40% was due to staff theft (10% of shrinkage was down to stocktaking errors). Of course these days we have the ability to place cameras in departments where losses are significant as identified by analysis of the point of sale data. These camera placements would be done after hours.
Peggy had also stolen a baby in "The Big Mother" 1/31/52. Got to watch out for that lady! Seriously, she was one of Jack Webb's favorite actresses and you can see why here. She's still with us at age 98!. She was only three years older than Allene Roberts, who was actually 24 when she played the 15-year-old. She died 5 years ago at the age of 90!. The original Dranet was a long time ago. We can all be glad that the episodes have been preserved and can be seen on You-Tube!
I have a hard time believing the wife of a Beverly Hills physician would go to prison. Her husband would pay them back, and it would be swept under the rug. A poor kid would go to prison.
Also, she had a mental illness, kleptomania. She may have been given a suspended sentence, community work and required to get psychological treatment. But maybe they didn't have those options then- Maybe the husband used it as an excuse to get rid of her, divorced her and marries his receptionist. :)
Maybe today but back when the show was made shoplifting was taken seriously and so is the criminal justice system now. it's a big joke. In San Francisco they won't even charge you with a crime if you don't steal more than $950 worth of merchandise
@@JohnPMitten You wouldn't be saying that if you'd watched The Space Children! They ran in (and her!) through the shredder on Mystery Science Theater 3000 a while back. I think it's on TH-cam. You should watch it!
@@JohnPMitten I would have banged her on the reg. That shoplifting stuff would have been the last thing on her mind waiting for my salami roll every day.
She needs a shrink, not jail. And maybe a few friends. Is there such a thing as "Shoplifters Anonymous?" Obsessive-compulsive behavioral disorder? Severe and disabling personality disorder resulting in pathological dishonesty? Some of those turn up in surprisingly prominent places.
Let me get this straight: Friday and Smith knock on a door, the fifteen-year-old girl opens up, and they begin throwing questions at her without any parental consent? Creepy as hell..!!😮
Why did they use the word big in most titles? Like Big Shoplifter, The Big Rod or The Big Actor? It's like today, where everything is "super", like super hard, super expensive, etc. I guess "super" is the word of today's generation.
The story you're about to see is true, only the names, the dialog, the sequence of events and the way Friday always gets the last word has been changed.Jack Webbs alcoholism is not portrayed

If Jack Webb could see the theft in California today he'd never stop crying.

Assumng that is true, a lot of good it did to prevent her from stealing.
And Let's Recall That The Pledge of Allegiance🎉 Was Spoken🗣 in Home Room to Begin The Day😊
Interestingly, Peggy Webber also voiced, in the radio show, Joe Fridays mother!
Lowliness is not the worst thing, being with people you can't tolerate is! Love these old B&W's! Thank you.
I am using this on a profile of mine, as you are right, screen shot because it is your word.

Thanks for the heads up hank!!!
She also played in 2 HIGHWAY PATROL episode's. A smart attractive lady
Great actress
Peggy played the vice principal in the case where the college student enrolled herself in high school.
Like "Dragnet", "Our Miss Brooks" started on the radio, went to TV and then became a movie. Eve Arden and Gale Gordan where in all 3 playing the same role.
interesting how they keep checking all know shoplifters in the city...try that in L A today.😅
Jack Webb is A Savage!!!
Thanks for posting these programs they are great 👍
A one woman shoplifting spree on Wilshire Boulevard. I am impressed. 🙂
Originally telecast on March 11, 1954, and adapted from an October 11, 1951 radio episode.
Thief…”there has to be an answer someplace”
Joe Friday..”there is….BUT YOU WON’T FIND IT IN JAIL”
DAAAADAAADAHDAH…😂😂😂😂😂😂
8:18, "the only thing I took home from the store was my paycheck"
And coffee, cold pills, toilet paper..........
4:30 only 6 of 14 in her section but the suspicion is on her. The other 8 could not possibly have anything to do with it.
Surveillance on shoplifting? Crime has come a long way
yeah, now they watch the thieves steal from them on camera
I was expecting Friday or Smith to ask the woman if she wears glasses
❤ love dragnet ❤
These days, the employees are the biggest thieves.
No, the corporations and oligarchs are.
These shows are before the warning about smoking.
YA THINK, STUPID?!? 🙄😣😠
@@dariowiter3078 Nice language.
Peggy Webber!

The guy talking from personal played on the Andy Griffin show.

Here's the irony if it happened today they would have called the bomb squad to see if it wasn't a bomb.
fast forward to 2024 and shoplifting is destroying big cities.
I hope the police were able to clear that salesgirl's reputation with the dept. store she used to work at, let them know that she was innocent. I know what its like to be falsely accused by an employer.
They don't even care about shoplifters now.
I think they do if they catch them.
I was going to say that also....stealing ANYTHING was bad news and not really that long ago from the frontier justice....also thieves were thought of as real honest to goodness pieces if s_hit.even family was ashamed. ..which was a good thing. thank you.
If they could see the shoplifting in 2023, they'd be in shock.
Parts of this plot appear to be based on the Black Dahlia story!
Pretty lady
There's Alene Roberts from the first season of the Adventures of Superman

@Dorien Fletcher, because she so tight, she squeaks when walking.

But maybe they didn't have those options then- Maybe the husband used it as an excuse to get rid of her, divorced her and marries his receptionist. :)

No kidding. Rich people rarely go to prison, not that many of them don’t deserve it.

There's no way that LAPD would have a shoplifting detail today, much less put their top detectives on the trail.
Today they're not even allowed to interfere with rioters or looters.
In those days a joint would get you jail time.... AFTER the obligatory beating.....
@@henryhorner3182 Ignorant statement.
@@booklover6753 not
She was also in the 60s dragnet
Everyone smoked because the sponsor was Chesterfield cigarettes -
Chesterfield cigarettes' pitchman was Ronald Reagan.
I knew I had seen Peggy webber somewhere but couldn’t recall.
Is that Peggy?
Well...Yes!
"There has to be something!" Yes, there is, lady. Get a job. Volunteer. Make friends and do activities with them.
2:00 Not able to renew insurance? I seriously doubt any insurance company would cover such a loss.
Kleptomaniac, a perfect candidate for Captain Dementia's Cabinet.

Obsessive-compulsive behavioral disorder? Severe and disabling personality disorder

3:25 Only a half dozen known shoplifters in Los Angeles? 😅
Deep Understanding more than what the police duo had for the beauty. Umm lady o the surgeon
2:00 Insurance does not cover shoplifting losses.
But shoplifting's now legal in cali, or at least decriminalized! You're outta a job Joe.
Shoplifting is legal. Ask anyone from the inner cities.
Let me get this straight: Friday and Smith knock on a door, the fifteen-year-old girl opens up, and they begin throwing questions at her without any parental consent? Creepy as hell..!!😮
Nice to see white collar crime, non violet crimes.
Shoplifting is a blue collar crime, champ.
Why did they use the word big in most titles? Like Big Shoplifter, The Big Rod or The Big Actor? It's like today, where everything is "super", like super hard, super expensive, etc. I guess "super" is the word of today's generation.
Peggy Webber ... Born: 15 September 1925 (age 98 years)
They did tend to pick nice looking women for this show. No visits to the trailer park. :-)
She was a looker!
Frank needs to lose a few pounds, I do not think he could pass a LAPD Physical.
And Harry Morgan would have had to grow several inches for the same reason...
Not the best episode, but thanks for the video
whenever we believe we are entitled to happiness, we behave stupidly.
She's barren
@@leondillon8723 With the wife in prison maybe he found his Anne Boleyn.
Sounds like her hubby wasn't attending to his duties there. That woman needed a regular bang - as in a couple times a day.
I wonder if she’s still serving her time...🤔
Lisa,
considering that was filmed in the early to mid 50s, she's probably dead
