Drunk, Disorderly, and Dead — Part 1 of 3
About this episode
[Rated MA]* When a redheaded starlet trades her ingénue halo for a hangover and a one-way ticket to the morgue, Dan Turner hits the Hollywood nightbeat—where a striptease, a snatch job, and a .22 slug turn a case of bad booze into cold murder.
