Wheaties presents Dangerous Assignment. On stage tonight from Hollywood, Dangerous Assignment. Another in the Wheaties big parade of exciting half-hour presentations. Dangerous Assignment, starring Brian Dunlevey as Steve Mitchell. Yeah, Danger is my assignment.

I get sent to a lot of places I can't even pronounce. They all spell the same thing though, trouble. But when I walk into the Commissioner's office, I don't realize this assignment is going to involve a dead chorus.

a Burmese girl, a trip through the jungle, and a fallen idol. Morning, Commissioner. Steve. Last night, an American newspaper correspondent named Kent Jackson was murdered in Rangoon, Burma. Your plane leaves in an hour. I'm flying clear to Burma because a correspondent gets himself killed.

Kent Jackson has been posing as a European political refugee. We think he'd been investigating some sort of political refugee racket. Hmm, maybe he was getting too warm. That way, now we have one lead. A Burmese girl named Lina, who we think witnessed the killing.

Where is this Lina? She's disappeared. Oh, great. Your first contact in Rangoon will be chambers at all-egation there. He'll fill you in on the background. Get over there, Steve. Find this girl Lina and Sal Kent Jackson's murder.

Well, that's it. You've got your assignment? Good luck. Anybody who knows baseball is played with a bat. Knows Jackie Robinson is about the hottest thing in the game. And now Jackie is turned actor to play himself in the Jackie Robinson story. It'll be turning up at your hometown theater soon plan to take the kids. And by way of a short postscript of the movie maybe you'd be

interested in what Jackie told us about Wheaties. He says of all of those crisp whole wheat flakes sure helps me get set for the day. Well that's about it. I think you'll like the Jackie Robinson story and I'm dead sure you'll like Wheaties breakfast of champions.
