Dangerous assignment starring Brian Don Levy as Steve Mitchell. You sent for me commissioner? Yes, don Steve Suppose you heard about Bill Thorne. Yeah, they pulled his body out of a river in eastern Panama That's right Bill was one of our best agents and one of your best friends Steve I figured you would want to take over his assignment

I do you've got it as of right now, and I'll give you the background quickly or Luther. How about Steve credentials? I've got them already commissioner Steve can pick them up at my desk and good. Here's a set of Steve shortly before the Japanese surrender and entire boatload of Japanese weapons disappeared.

We have reason to think they're hidden somewhere in Panama. And that whoever has them is willing to sell to the highest bidder. How many weapons are involved? Enough to equip three divisions. Well, Bill Thorne must have been getting warm.

Yes, obviously. Why you got killed? Steve, we can't afford to have a hidden cache of weapons that close to the canal. Who do I work with down there? Lieutenant Peters of the National Police in Panama City.

Any other contacts who might help me? One, his name is Emil Fager. He owns a large plantation down there, quite an influential man. Can we trust him? In this business, who knows? But he has done several favors for us in the past.

When does my plane leave? Half an hour. Steve, I don't need to tell you about the danger involved. They've already killed Bill Thorne. I'll be gunning for you too. The usual you'll pose is a foreign correspondent.

Actually, your job is to find those weapons. Yeah, and find out who killed Bill Thorne. Yeah, well, that's it. Let your sign on Steve. Good luck. The National Broadcasting Company welcomes back to the air dangerous assignment, starring Brian Donlevi as Steve Mitchell, colorful, two-fisted government agent.
