FEDERAL MEN. The Case of The Slippery Eel. 1955 FBI Crime Drama / TV Episode

Originally titled "Treasury Men In Action", Federal Men was one of the better crime dramas of the 1950's and starred Walter Greaza as The Chief who introduces each episode and warns the viewer that crime does not pay. This episode "The Case of The Slippery Eel" is about a confidence man who finally runs out of luck. This episode fell into the public domain in 1983 from lack of copyright renewal.
