Inside Detroit

[first lines]

[as the film starts, a man can be seen sitting at a desk. This is John Cameron Swayze.]

John Cameron Swayze, On-Screen Commentator: Ladies and gentlemen, how do you do? This is John Cameron Swayze, and this has been a day of comparative quiet on the international scene. Of considerable importance, however, is the news within our own borders. Now, this news can have a far reaching and lasting effect on every human being in the United States, as well, as on those free countries of the world, that depend upon us for their safety and well being. This bulletin has reached this desk from Detroit, Michigan, a city conceded to be the arsenal of America. Now, gangsters of organized crime are making a strong bid to gain control of the labor unions, so that they can rule the destinies of some 17 million union workers. But, for the courage of honest union officials, the police, and a political regime of integrity, the crime elements would already be in control in Detroit. The film you are about to see, Inside Detroit, shows what has been done, and what can be done by men of faith and fortitude to combat this menace.
