Tonight, the subject of our FBI file, racket control. It's titled, The Million Dollar Question. Tonight's case from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation points up an alarming condition existing in our country. While our forces fight on foreign shores to protect our precious heritage, criminal forces within our own borders are trying

to strangle it, demanding protection money from those conducting legitimate businesses. Your FBI says that protection money, like blackmail money, is unnecessary. Law enforcement agencies can and will give adequate protection, but business men must cooperate, must reveal the facts as they know them, then and then only will this vicious underworld practice be wiped out, for criminal sphere exposure almost as

much as they fear bullets. Right here and now your FBI pledges all legitimate business enterprises, it's full support in the fight against graft, corruption and exploitation. Listen tonight to an example of what we mean by this.

Mike's file opens in a large eastern city. Over the entrance to a building in the warehouse district is a sign which reads, Our trucks move anything, anywhere, anytime. A middle-aged man sits in an office on the top floor of that building. He is just greeting a visitor.
