From Season 2 of Dragnet's 2nd run:
Jack Webb brings back a holiday classic. "The Christmas Story" is a remake of "The Big Little Jesus", which previously aired on radio and during the 1st TV run. Actor-musician Bobby Troup (later of Emergency!) and a pre-Brady Bunch Barry Williams are among the guests. While the opening graphic comes from season 2, the closing graphics come from season 3, complete with Frank Comstock's kickin' score, replacing Lyn Murray's theme score.
In summation of the plot: A Nativity display in a LA church, or more specifically, the baby Jesus figurine, is stolen, so Joe Friday (Webb) & Bill Gannon (Harry Morgan) are called on to solve the case.
Rating: A.
