Last autumn the BBC, in conjunction with Scotland Yard, exposed some of the tricks used by crooks to part honest men and women from their money. Since then more than a million men and women have been demobbed; for them in particular, and for listeners in general, a revised edition of the earlier series of broadcasts is presented.
Programme written by Robert Barr and Percy Hoskins, in collaboration with New Scotland Yard.
