OFFERED LOCALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME This is the TV film series that zoomed into a 45.3 Nielsen rating (Aug. 1953) — the nation's Number One show! It's based on actual cases from the files of police confidence and racket squads. Each half-hour show is an actionpacked chapter in the annals of rackets and "confidence games" that could victimize you.
