Dangerous assignment starring Brian Dunlevi as Steve Mitchell I'm sending you to Switzerland on the next plane Switzerland. What's the matter? You're watch busted? No We're up against a case of international blackmail Ruth. How about Steve's planter ready and waiting commissioner. Good. I check on this passport and cadence Thanks Ruth Now what's all this about international blackmail as you know the popular leader of a central European country died last week

We've taken an active interest in the affairs of that country. We've sent them food and money and done everything we can to help them establish a democracy. We've made a heavy investment in democracy. And now we've got to protect our investment.

I still don't get with the blackmail. This leader had finally succeeded in uniting his country behind him. He became a symbol of democracy in their minds. But there are interests who realize if they can discredit this man, that unity will collapse.

In that country we'll end the uneasy target for anti-democratic propaganda. I see. But how can they discredit the man he's dead? We have just received information before he died. He signed a confession revealing his intentions as sell out his country.

We happen to know. That confession was obtained by force. Well, why hasn't it been published? He had many friends and one of them stole a confession before it could be put to use. And you want me to contact this man?

No, he was killed. A man named Baumgah contacted us this morning. He owns a Yung Frauil in the Swiss Alps in Interlach. He says he knows that the blackmailer is willing to sell this letter to the highest bidder.
