September 1, 1948: LAPD officers burst into a Laurel Canyon cottage and arrested movie star Robert Mitchum, joint in hand. Was it a sting, a setup, or both? Mitchum walked back into a thriving career. Budding actress Lila Leeds - who received the same charges and sentence as Mitchum - didn’t. Adriana Collado examines the arrest, the informant, and why Mitchum's conviction later vanished while Leeds’s remained on the books.
