Tonight, the subject of our FBI file, fraudulent bankruptcy. It's titled, The Telltale Cargo. The nature of the case dramatized tonight from the official files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation may come as something of a surprise to many listeners.

There are probably very few of us who in this year 1951 would expect a crime which would seem to be somewhat in a class with piracy. But to the agents of your FBI, there is no such thing as the unexpected.

They are trained and prepared to meet any and all situations. As tonight's story so clearly proves, tonight's FBI file opens on a tugboat crossing one of the Great Lakes, as it tows a heavily loaded barge.

A young man stands on the deck of the tug, usually trying to light a match when the captain approaches holding out his lickset. Yeah, try this. Thanks. How's it like? Oh, can you hear me?
