Injorous assignment. Transcribe, starring Brian Don LaViere's 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 that this assignment is going to prove that you can sometimes book the biggest fish of all right in the middle of a freight train.

Morning Commissioner, you sent to me Steve. Ever been on the road to Mandalay? Oh, many times. Folkly, that is. Used to be the theme song of our jolly fellows clam digging and marching society. Well, this time you're actually going to travel that road, Steve.

On your way to meet an American newspaper man named Forrest. What's it all about, Commissioner? Lately, we've been concerned over the leak of strategic materials and equipment from the U.S. Materials originally intended for our allies in Indochina, Malaya.

You mean some of that shipment isn't getting there, huh? Right. It's winding up in Burma, then being shipped on through the back door of China. So how does this newspaperman fit into the picture? Chris Farister knows the Orient.

Been there for years, as many contexts. He got in touch with this last night, so he had certain information which might help us plug up that leak of supply. Okay, Commissioner. Get over there, Steve.

Talk with Farister. Get to the organization behind all this and smash it. Well, that's it. You've got your assignment. Good luck. The National Broadcasting Company is presenting dangerous assignments starring Brian Donlevian, the role of Steve Mitchell, colorful two-fisted government agent.

To all those places of the world where danger and intrigue walk hand in hand, there you will find Steve Mitchell on another dangerous assignment. One of the most important functions of a radio network is the quick dissemination of news.
