Tonight, the subject of a FBI file bank robbery. It's titled The hostage. There have been several recent statements by prominent people concerning what they call the rapid decline of public morality throughout the country.

One of them noted that when you consider that more and more people from good homes, from areas of promise and opportunity, are becoming involved in crime, you cannot help seeing that this decline involves us all. The philosophy that is too widespread today declares that the evil is not committing a crime but getting caught. That is not the philosophy which helped

build America's greatness. And if it continues to spread, it can be the weight which bogges down. Tonight's case from the files of your FBI concerns a man from one of those areas of promise and opportunity. A man willing to do anything to keep from being caught. Tonight's FBI file opens in a large Midwestern city.
