Boxcars711Old Time Radio Pod - 21st Precinct "Armed Robbery At Bar And Grill" (12-15-54)


Armed Robbery At Bar And Grill (Aired December 15, 1954)


21ST PRECINCT was one of the realistic police drama series of the early- to mid-1950's that were aired in the wake of DRAGNET. NBC's DRAGNET had proven that a realistic police show could attract and hold an audience. In 1953 CBS decided to use New York City as the backdrop for their own half-hour police series and focus on the day-to-day operation of a single police precinct. Actual cases were used as the basis for stories. The Precinct Captain acted as the narrator for the series.
