About this film

Lt. William Russell, officer in the Chicago Narcotics Bureau, joins Sheriff Lohman to show the problem of narcotics, both from the viewpoint of traffic as well as the addiction among teenagers. Russell describes the physical and emotional disorders resulting from addiction, the ways in which dope is passed, the sources of this deadly supply, and what law enforcement authorities do with known addicts. Film clips and a case study illustrate Russells grim story. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
