The title of this Dragnet episode tells you there will be fraud involved - so there is no surprise in what kind of crime Officer Gannon and Sergeant Friday will be dealing with.
What might be interesting to present-day viewers is at the beginning of the episode, when the person suspicious of the crime gives Gannon and Friday a simple explanation of how computers of thirty years ago received and sorted information, with insight into what weak points in the system might have allowed the fraud to be perpetrated.
As always, vaguely familiar guest stars appear in minor roles, Bill Gannon looks mighty skeptical of those new-fangled inventions and Joe Friday has a chance to insert dry humor.
