This is Your FBI: The Big Buildup

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.

By rail, by bus, by car, plane or ship, Americans are on the move. It's vacation time. Twelve million of these Americans are policy holders and beneficiaries who own or will benefit by Equitable Society Life Insurance Policy.

We like to think that these folks are enjoying extra peace of mind on our holidays thanks to the extra security they have gained through the Equitable Life Insurance Society. To make your own vacation carefree, take care to have all the life insurance protection you need.

See your equitable society representative. Tonight's FBI file, the big build-up. In many ways, the world of crime is an accurate reflection of the customs and the conditions of the country.

For one thing, crime flourishes in economic times like the present, after a war when money is loose. But perhaps the way in which the criminal population has most completely mirrored our civilization is that this for them too has become an age of specialization, a time when one man does one job well. Whatever his field of crime be it arson, blackmail, or

swindling, once he finds a formula that works, he does not deviate. That is true of almost every type of criminal, but is especially true of one specific type, the criminal known as the confidence man.

The Knights FBI file opens in a motor court and out skirts of a large Midwestern city. There in one of the cabins, confidence man George Thompson is present as his two partners, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Milford, engage in a family fight.
