Transcript

This is your FBI. This is your FBI, an official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, presented as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. Your FBI, you look for national security, and the Equitable Society for Financial Security.

These two great institutions are dedicated to the protection of you, your home, and your country. The night, the story of a crime against society. Impersonation. In the course of an ordinary year, the FBI handles big cases and small cases.

Big cases like the trapping of the German savateurs who are sent here to seal the secrets of the atomic bomb. And small cases, well small cases such as the one you're going to hear about tonight.

The important thing about tonight's case is not the sum of money involved or even the people involved, for the criminals are petty thieves. The important thing is that the FBI took as much time and effort as it did, and it's comparatively minor in fraction of the law.

No case is too big for the FBI, and none is too small, if it violates the federal statute under the FBI's jurisdiction. Our story tonight opens in a tourist cabin on the outskirts of a small town near New York.

It is early in the morning and a platen's white-haired old lady is talking to her son. And Robert? Huh? Can I help you with anything? No, I'm all set, ma'am. Come here, let me look at you.

Okay. Well, here, nice and neat. Just breaking your tile. Sure, ma'am, sure. must always look your best before you go out to do business. Sure. That was one of your father's rules. That was one of the reasons he was such a grand success.
