Transcript
This is your FBI. This is your FBI. The official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The subject of our FBI file, extortion.
It's titled, The Protection Pedalers. Day in and day out. Year after year. FBI agents come in contact with the worst side of American life. There is always danger that these constant associations with shady and vicious characters might make a law enforcement official lose confidence in human nature in general, might make him cynical,
discouraged. Then along comes someone who renews his faith in the essential decency of mankind. He may be a humble, respectable citizen who refuses to be intimidated by racketeers, or He may be what is known as an honest cop, and they are the vast, vast majority of all policemen, who put public service above self-interest.
These people cooperate, testify on behalf of law and order, a tough case is cracked wide open. Another FBI file is closed. It is to these often unrewarded unsung heroes, that your FBI wishes to pay tribute tonight, For FBI, if I, elephants in a western city, two men are playing golf.
One of them middle-aged with an unlit cigar, clenched between his teeth approaches his balls. Look at this lie. What's wrong with it? Those trees are in my mind. Frank, the trees are 300 yards. Why'd that caddy give me a three-wood?
I need a nine. Yeah, that's them for a three-wood. Well, he shouldn't have given it to me. Mm, stand back. Mm. You missed. I was a practice swing. Oh. Yeah, see the brakes I get.
I hit the ball good and the wind catches it. I got a good mind I quit this game. I am. Huh? I'm going back east in a couple of weeks. Oh, it's a nice way to break the nose to me.
