| Description: | The arrest of seven men in San Francisco destroys one of the largest narcotic smuggling rings in years. Heroin and opium would be a flood of narcotics worth millions. The drugs were smuggled in from Red China by way of Hong Kong which federal agents say is the world's clearing houses for opium from the Orient. Magazines with the center cut out was used to put the opium in and on its way for contribution. Establishing shot - FBI agents taking drug smugglers into custody. CUS - Agent sitting at a desk with all the seized contraband laid on top. CUS - Agent looking at (what I believe to be a packet of Heroin). CUS - Another agent comes into the picture and shows the other one different ways and techniques the smugglers used to get the contraband pass customs inspection. CUS - One way was the center cut out of a magazine and another way was using a jar of food with a hallow center in it. | |
