This assignment, starring Brian Donlevay, as Steve Mitchell. 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 that this assignment's going to involve my trying to solve my own murder.

Morning, Commissioner. Ruth said you had an assignment for me. You know? You're looking pretty good, after all. Thank you. You look dandy, too. Any reason why I shouldn't look alright? Well, according to all the known laws of medical science, right now you should be looking bad.

Yeah, why? Last night you dropped dead. Oh, well, if that sort of... Huh? I dropped dead. That's what I said. Well... It was certainly the most painless death I ever had anyway. Now, look, Commissioner.

I don't know what this is all about, but it's a little early in the morning for jokes, wouldn't you think? This is no joke. Ever hear a rokel? No, it sounds like something for a sour stomach.

Rokel is the name of the town in South America, where you were murdered last night. Murdered? Here we go again. Now wait a minute. Steve, a man was shot to death in an alley there last night.

He was carrying a complete set of credentials which identified him as Steve Mitchell, U.S. Government Agent. I see. Any idea with this guy really was or why he was posing on the law? But he was undoubtedly involved in something big, something which required him to pass himself off as a U.S. agent.

Oh, and you want to know what that something is, huh? I certainly do, because I have a strong hunch that whatever it is, there's an aroma connected with it that's not very sweet. Any contacts down there who can help me?
