Transcript

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 transcribed as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community.

Did you receive a special invitation to listen to tonight's broadcast?
