This is your FBI. This is your FBI. The official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Tonight, the subject of our FBI file, crime syndicate. It's titled, The Unwelcome Fugitive.
Since 1938, the last year of peace in the world, The number of major crimes in this country has increased almost 25%. Much of that rises due to the fact that crime today in many parts of the nation is organized and operated on an assembly-line basis.
The profits to the well-run criminal machine can never accurately be figured. But from evidence your FBI has found in the past it is certain that those profits in every large city run high into the millions.
Where that kind of money is at stake, man will risk prison, death or any other consequence. Because those men have found that once entrenched in a community, they can count on public apathy to keep them in power.
For too many people have come to accept foodlamism as a necessary part of our way of life. Your FBI is not a part of that group, and whenever it has proper jurisdiction, the Federal Bureau investigation will fight to prove that crime is not inevitable, but can be controlled if we attack it as we would any threat that faced us all.
Like FBI, fire opens at an airport in Europe. A group of passengers approaches a huge plane bound for South America. One of the first to fly in the metal stairway and that of the plane is a stock-ape conservatively dressed man carrying a briefcase.
He takes a forward seat and taps his pocket to be sure he still has his passport. That passport contains his name, Albert Miller, his occupation businessman. In a few minutes the large door of the plane is closed and it takes off into the night.
