Tonight's FBI file, the unhappy hijacker. Last year, there were more than a million and a half major crimes committed in the United States. For people arrested for those crimes, more than half had previous arrest records.

Some of those arrested had records which covered many pages, many states, and many years. They are the professional criminals. The ones to whom of previous sentences merely an interruption of their careers. They had driven on by many complex usages, but the basic ingredient behind their continuance as criminals is that they are sure they won't make the same mistake again.

The mistake that resulted in their previous capture, arrest, and imprisonment. Their confidence that their experience has made them smarter than all the police in the world. And when they have achieved that state of illusion, no crime is beyond them.

Armed robbery, arson, or even murder. The Night FBI file opens in a comfortable frame house located in the large city in one of our Midwestern states. One of the occupants of this dwelling, and this is Johnson, who's just answering the front doorbell.
