This is Your FBI: Operation Rhumba

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 As Christmas Day draws near every father becomes more deeply aware of how much his wife and family mean to him.

For this is the season when we think of others, when we find our greatest happiness in promoting the happiness of those we love. Perhaps that is why more fathers choose December than any other month to increase their family's protection with the equitable life-assurance society.

Yes, this is a good time to get in touch with your equitable society representative, to discuss with him the finest gift that any man can give his loved ones. Security through life insurance. Tonight's FBI file. Operation Rumba.

Tonight, your FBI removes the secret classification from another of wartime files. It makes public this story of how one of its special agents aided the Allied cause in the fight against the Axis. The time of this case was December 1942, almost four years ago to the day, a period which saw headlines about strange remote places like Waddle Canal, Tunis, Mature, Bazzette.

They were the days of desperation when it seemed even to those who are not faint-hearted That victory for the Axis might be just around the corner. The Night's Fire opens on a speed corner in a large city in South America.

A middle-aged lady limping quite badly approaches the corner where George Harrison, a young American chemist, is standing. A middle-aged lady speaks. I beg your pardon, young man. No, are you talking to me? Yes, I'd like you to do me a favor.
