The Sixties generational divide lies at the heart of this shocking episode.
Few television shows capture the generational divide of the late-1960s quite like Dragnet. The color reboot of the police procedural, which cast Harry Morgan as Bill Gannon alongside Jack Webb's Joe Friday, was at its heart a battle between the Greatest Generation and the Boomers. In hindsight, part of the pleasure of watching the series is seeing just how the tables have turned these days.
In just about every episode, Joe Friday delivers a soliloquy about the ills of modern society, "young people today," hippies' blatant disregard of norms, etc. The very first episode, "The LSD Story," warned about the dangers of psychedelics. Later that same year, Dragnet 1967 tackled marijuana in a similar episode titled "The Big High."
