Transcript

Dangerous assignment. Transcribe, starring Brian Dunlaby 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 can't realize that this assignment's going to wind up with me trying to decide whether I'd rather get run over or shot. Morning, Commissioner. You sent for me, Steve. I'm putting you on the trail of the young lady.

Hey, this must be my lucky day. A very beautiful lady, I might add. Here's her picture. This gets better as it goes along. Tell me more, Commissioner. Her name is Antonina Aguirre. She entered the United States illegally after the war, was picked up by immigration officials a short time ago, and was now being sent back to Portugal.

At the moment, she's on a boat in the Mid-Atlantic Bontalismans. So I'll be there when the boat docks, huh? Why? You're to follow us, Steve. Find out what she's up to. What makes you think she's up to anything?

Yesterday the Immigration Department made her rather puzzling discovery, Steve. They learned that the anonymous tip they had received, the one that led to the girls' arrest, had been set up by the girl herself. Boy, we got to work on it right away and found out that she'd been seen on several occasions with a man named Lewis Cortese, a man who has from time to time been connected with several

subversive groups in this country. Get over there, Steve. Pick up Antonina, a Geary's Trail and a boat docks in Lisbon and find out what this maneuver is all about. Well, that's it. You've got your assignment.
