Not a movie but does anyone remember the episode of “Dragnet” where the orphan kid sells his revolver to buy a present for his little brother?

I haven’t seen it in probably over 50 years and those which seem so good when I was a kid sometimes turn out not to be but that one really affected me.

I don’t remember that episode, but I vaguely remember a Dragnet involving a stolen Baby Jesus from a church Nativity display and a poor little boy who took it. I’m fuzzy about why he took it though.

One of my personal favorites. This is the one where the kids takes the baby Jesus from the Church right?

I recently read a book (Kindle) about a man who watches an episode of "Dragnet" every night. Each episode is his favourite, with the original air date and plot description. For anyone who is a "Dragnet" fan, it's quite a treat.

The title is "600 Hours of Edward".
