The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents this is your FBI This is your FBI an official broadcast in the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation presented as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society is representative in your community And now a special request to boys and girls

If your father and mother don't happen to be listening to this is your FBI tonight, please get them. Tell them that the Equitable Life Assurance Society, the sponsor of this program, is going to make an important announcement to home owners and to all families that are thinking of buying or building a home.

Tell mother and dad they're going to miss something if they don't get the facts on America's finest plan for home ownership. The Night's FBI file, the Carnival Killing. After day, the criminal goes on defying it.

Be sure your sins will find you out. Our story tonight could take place in most any kind of setting you could name, and it could involve persons of most any rank or station in life.
