Transcript

Dangerous assignment. Transcribe, starring Brian Don LaViere, Steve Mitchell. Ginger 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 commission this office, I don't realize that this assignment is going to show me that sometimes the only way to let a little light in on a deal is through a bullet hole.

Morning, Commissioner. You said from me, Steve, you have a rendezvous in trias tomorrow night. At 8 o'clock, you're to be waiting on the southeast corner of the Piazza Damo. Waiting for what, Commissioner? A streetcar?

The number of the car is 17. When you board that streetcar, you'll be carrying the addition of the London Times in your left hand. You'll be contacted by a man named Sootak. What's this all about?

A report on stolen US atomic secret steam describing how much is known about them behind the Iron Curtain. A report smuggled out by the Underground. And Sootak has the report? No, but he can probably tell us where it is.

What do you mean? A man carrying the report was murdered in Tries last night. Short time later, Sootak called our embassy in Belgrade and said he was certain the courier had managed to hide the paper before he was killed.

Okay, so I check with Sootak, but why on a street car? I don't know, but those were the instructions he gave. Get over there, Steve, and talk to Sootak. It's vitally important. We recover that report.

Well, that's it. You got your assignment? Good luck. The National Broadcasting Company is presenting dangerous assignment. Starring Brian Donlevian, the role of Steve Mitchell, colorful, two-fisted government agent. At all those places of the world where danger and intrigue walk hand in hand, there you will find Steve Mitchell on another dangerous assignment.
