The M-G-M Crime Reporter introduces Frank J. Maxwell, Florida District Director of the U.S. Immigration Service, who talks about illegal immigration, and the unscrupulous people and organizations that smuggle in immigrants for a fee, often with deadly results to the immigrants if they become a liability. In one such case, wrapped bodies are found at the bottom a Florida swamp, found to be dumped while the victims were still alive. One victim is identified as Pablo Rivas, a foreigner who had previously lived in the U.S., but was sent back to Portugal where he was placed on a quota waiting list for permanent re-entry. Because the dead were a mixture of different races, Immigration Services believes the smugglers have a Caribbean transit camp used as the direct entry point into the U.S. Meanwhile, Otto Kestler, an Austrian national, is in much the same position as Rivas, he's now on a waiting list for entry to join his family already living in the States.
