This is Your FBI: The Friendly Frame-up

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.

At this exact moment, your home is one of many millions in which this radio program is tuned in. In the Equitable Life Assurance Society, we feel that this nationwide home listening carries with a very serious responsibility.

Our equitable radio message must be keyed to home and family problems. Tonight's equitable society message is on education. If there are children in your home, you will be particularly interested in this commercial about the Equitable Education Fund.

Don't miss it in about 14 minutes. Tonight's FBI file, the friendly frame up. It is a truism in law enforcement circles that no criminal is easy to catch. Each one presents a new problem, demanding a new approach.

Some, of course, are easier to apprehend than others. It is simpler to bring to justice the criminal who lives by crime alone, to earn no honest dollar than it is to trap the species of lawbreakers among us, who live a jackal and hide existence, who operate a legitimate business as a front, and a criminal business undercover.

Those people are difficult to weed out because for the most part they take no active role in the commission of any crime. Mainly they are the brains and the money behind the operation of a complex criminal machine.

A machine which is built to stop at nothing. The nightspile opens in a smoke-filled gymnasium. Sweaty fighters are going through their training workouts. One shadowboxing, one working with a sparring partner in the ring, another punching the heavy bag.
