The Big Story. Portland Shakedown Racket 1957. Taxi drivers forced to pay money to crooked cops.

Taxi cab drivers are being shaken down for money by dirty cops. The taxi driver victims ask "how can I call the cops, if the guy shaking me down is a cop?" Bill Lambert, newspaper reporter, investigates and exposes the Shakedown Racket, preying on taxi drivers just trying to make a living. Burgess Meredith is your host and narrator. The story is fact, not fiction, from the pages of the Portland Oregonian newspaper. Great action television series loaded with street scenes of Portland, Oregon. Cast includes William Adler, Russell Hardie, Frank Maxwell, Sandy Kenyon, Harry Davis, and Sam Gray. This episode is wrongly titled "Shakedown" on TV databases, but the correct title, verified by the film leader, is "Portland Shakedown Racket". Transferred from 16mm b-w film.
