This is Your FBI: The Loner

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.

A famous French general once pointed out that the great advantage of the American soldier was his ability to think and act for himself in an emergency. That, of course, is our American way. We Americans like to be independent and self-reliant.

That's why the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States today has five million policy-holding members who freely chose this form of personal security. Today, the Equitable Society is represented from coast to coast by more than 8,000 agents.

In about 12 minutes, we have something to tell you about these men, whose job it is to show how you too may enjoy the advantages of membership in the equitable society. Tonight, the subject of our FBI file, bank robbery, its title, the loner!

Tonight's case concerns one of the most serious problems facing law enforcement agencies throughout the country, and thus facing you, the people. That is the problem of parole. The Federal Bureau of Investigation wishes to make perfectly clear that it is not opposed to the concept of paroling eligible and deserving prisoners.

Do you know how paroles are handled in your section? Take the trouble to find out. Through one of the good government groups in your community, tonight's FBI file opens in a large western city. It is early afternoon as a man wrapped in a heavy overcoat hurries along the crowded sidewalk and enters the corner bank.
