An 
company.
This was a short (20 min) that was played today on TCM in between movies.
It starts out with an officer telling the viewers that the short that is about to be played is a dramatized version of a counterfeiter in action.
The short then tells a story about a gang of counterfeiters and how they make their money and pass it on to unsuspected people.
I thought it was quite good, for the time. Kinda sappy at times, but all in all it brought a good message to the 1940s public, "Crime doesn't pay."
