Each episode opened with the sounds of marching feet, gunshots, sirens and screeching brakes, followed by a strident voice saying, "Calling the police! Calling the G-men! Calling all Americans to war on the underworld!" Such was the cultural impact of the series that it gave rise to the expression, "coming on like gangbusters," as in anything having unusual force with expeditious consequences. The programs were based on factual incidents and closed with various descriptions of wanted criminals; many of whom were apprehended due to avid listener participation. |
