Transcript

The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents This is your FBI. This is your FBI. The 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 and the Equitable Society's representative in your community.

Has this ever happened in your home? You're sitting listening to the radio when? Hello? This is the Radio Checking Bureau. My yes, this. This is your FBI. Do you know who sponsors that program?

Of course I do. It's the Equitable Life Assurance Society. Just last week I got my Equitable Representative to bring me that fact-facing chart for fathers they tell about in this program. And believe me, that chart's a real eye-opener.

So naturally I know that this is your FBI as sponsored by the Equitable Society. And in just fifteen minutes I'll give all fathers full information about the equitable society's fact-facing chart that this father found so valuable.

Tonight, FBI file, the Sunshine Swindlers. The criminal who commits a minor crime and who remains near the scene of his crime ordinarily is hunted only by a local police department.

But the criminal who goes after bigger game, who regards the entire nation as his bellywick, who commits a crime and then moves on sometimes thousands of miles presents a more difficult problem. The problem of finding one person in a nation of 140 million people.

Every clue becomes an important one, for every clue might be the one which helps your FBI to bring the criminal to justice. Whatever the difficulty is, however many times your FBI may have been frustrated.

The search goes on. Because the stops would be to admit defeat, and to leave the way open for the criminal to choose another victim. A victim who might be you. The night file opens in a house located on the shores of Miami's Biscayne Bay.
