The story you are about to hear is true.
Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.
Fatima, best of all king-sized cigarettes brings you dragnet.
As a detective sergeant, you're assigned a homicide detail.
A 30-year-old woman is missing.
Three months pass before a disappearance is reported.
There's not a trace of the woman.
No lead to her whereabouts.
Your job?
Find her.
In Fatima, the difference is quality.
That's right.
Fatimas are different.
They taste better.
Yet king-sized Fatima costs no more than the cigarette you are now smoking.
And because of its quality, more smokers are now insisting on Fatima than ever before.
You see, Fatima contains the finest domestic and Turkish tobacco, superbly blended.
And Fatima is extra mild with a much different, much better flavor and aroma.
So compare Fatima yourself today.
You will find Fatima gives you all the advantages of extra length plus Fatima quality, which
no other king-sized cigarette has.
Remember, the cost of Fatima is the same as the cigarette you're now smoking.
But in Fatima, the difference is quality.
Next time, buy Fatima.
Best of all, king-sized cigarettes.

police files.
From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, Dragnet is the story of your police force
in action.
It was Monday, June 9th.
It was warm in Los Angeles.
We were working the day watch out of homicide detail.
My partner's Ben Romero.
The boss is Thad Brown, Chief of Detectives.
My name's Friday.
I was on the way back from the stats office and it was 10 18 a.m. when I got to room 42.
Homicide.
How are you, Joe?
I've been waiting for you.
Hi.
Ma'am, I'd like to have you meet my partner, Sergeant Priding.
Joe, this is Miss Daly, Ruth Daly.
How do you do?
Miss Daly came in to file a missing report on her sister, Joe.
She already talked to missing persons and they sent her in to see us.
Oh, I have a chair, ma'am.
Thank you.
What's it all about, Miss?
I just started to tell Sergeant Romero's here.
That's Romero, ma'am.
I'm sorry, Romero.
Well, it's about my sister, Bernice, Sergeant.
She's missing.
I wondered if maybe you people could help me find her.
Well, what's your sister's name?
Bernice.
I guess you want her married name, Mrs. James Butler.
Her description would be just about the way I look.
Bernice and I are twins.
When's your sister disappear, ma'am?
In March.
The first weekend in March.
She disappeared on a Saturday.
Well, that's three months ago, Miss Daly.
How is it this wasn't reported sooner?
Well, as a matter of fact, I halfway expected her husband to report it.
I talked to him about it when Bernice was gone to the hospital.
He said she was going to be here in a few days.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
She said she was going to be here in a few days.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
