Tonight, the Sub-A-B-I-Fire, Broadulant Bankruptcy, its title, Man Hunt. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is a carefully run organization operated along certain well-defined lines of procedure.

One of those precepts is that every unsolved case must be reported on at least once every 45 days. That means the search for a criminal is relentless. Another important point is that not a single fact, no matter how small, shall be overlooked in an investigation.

Somewhere in every case there is one element which prevents it from being the perfect crime. That element may be the lack of an alibi. It may be a fingerprint, a fad or a foible of the suspect, or even such a tiny link as appeared in the case you are about to hear.

A case which saw a man disappear. Saw him vanish completely. Tonight's file opens in a large Midwestern city. It is late afternoon as a short, conservatively dressed man walks along Main Street and enters a flower shop.
