Transcript

This is your FBI. This is your FBI. The official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The subject of our FBI file armed robbery.

It's titled Fiesta Fugitive. After decades of being referred to as cops, flat feet, bulls and many other uncomplimentary names, law enforcement officers today are regarded as members of a highly respected profession.

Cases which a few years ago would have remained mysteries are now solved through the use of the scientific crime laboratory, the basic improvement in personnel, and the specialized training law enforcement officers throughout the nation receive.

The policeman of years gone by would hardly recognize today's FBI special agents as they go about their jobs. The only familiar element would be hard work. Despite technical aids and increased knowledge, today's law enforcement officer must still contribute labor.

The relentless hour after hour effort, for which there is no substitute. Tonight's FBI file opens on the streets of a southern Gulf Coast city. It is fiesta time, and an every sight street people dance in gay costumes.

Certain streets are closed to traffic and block parties are held. The litter of confetti and discarded noise-maker doesn't bother the dancing couples. For these are people in a holiday mood. Even a godly dressed couple trying to push their way through the crowd can only laugh at their lack of success.

Well I thought the football season was over! At this rate we'll never make it! It's the doctor! You tell him! They got the costume and the place is to go! Oh it is the money!
