Dangerous Assignment: Relief Supplies

Hagg death, Archony singapore. At all the places of the world where Danger and In Creek walk hand in hand, there you will find Steve Mitchell on another dangerous assignment. The National Broadcasting Company presents the first in an exciting new adventure series, Dangerous Assignment, starring Brian Donlevy as Steve Mitchell.

Steve, you're going to run this pretty little boat right onto the rocks if you don't put your hands on the wheels. Uh-uh. Automatic pilot. W-5, do you do a big one? I should have known you'd have one of those on your boat.

So help me. First time in my life I've ever used it, Evelyn. Eloise. Eloise, sure. W-5. Steve. Why don't you turn that radio off? I never should have turned it on. What's all that W.U. style?

Who's that silly woman trying to get anyway? W.I.S.T.T.T.R. That's the ship to shore operator. Brother, you know him all. What is he while with you? I'm afraid I know. Well, I guess I better answer before they send a Coast Guard.

W-5-W-R-S from W-2-B-Y-R. Go ahead. Now look Ruth, I said only call me in an emergency. Over. But I'm in the middle of a big deal, Ruth. I'm tied up. Over. What? Tell him. Oh, okay. I'll come back. Out.

Eloise, I'm afraid you... And for this, I broke another day. Now look, Eloise, I'm sorry. So what do I do? I go out and buy a new son's suit. That's a very nice sunset. I even fries some chicken for the first time in my life. I fries some chicken.

But this probably won't take long. What am I supposed to do in the meantime? And what am I going to do with all that fried chicken? Well, keep it on ice for me, huh? Hello, Commissioner.

Steve, I trust you concluded your big deal satisfactorily. Uh, well, I... Steve, ever hear of the Throp Foundation? Throp Foundation? Sure. That's the private charity that's been sending a lot of relief shipments to Europe.

Right. There's done quite a job over there. Tons of food and medical supplies. Yeah, that's the outfit. What about them? There are last three shipments to Sicily have been stolen. Oh, you mean off the boat?

No, from the Foundation's warehouse in the Saines Sicily. I see. We've been instructed to get to the bottom of it. As usual, you'll pose as a foreign correspondent. Ruth has your credentials in order. Okay.

Sir fish, your assignment will be to write a story about the stolen shipments. Actually, I want you to find out who's been stealing those shipments. And to be frank, Steve, I'm sending you into a pretty nasty situation over there.

What do you mean? The trap foundation has had two men working on this case. One of them has been missing for two weeks. What about the other one? Well, they found him all right. His throw said, man, cut.

Well, that's reassuring. sending you because we think you can take care of yourself and handle it danger. When do you want me to leave? Good. As soon as possible. Now if you need help or information once you get to Sicily, contact Emilio D'Nathio, a mccinac.

Who is Emilio D'Nathio? He runs a bar in the scene. We think he's our friend of ours. Okay. There's just one more thing I should warn you about, Steve. You know, you're making this assignment sound real attractive, Commissioner.

What is it? Yes you've heard of this Sicilian band that they call Lorenzo. Yeah, who hasn't? He's got the whole countryside terrorized. Steve, I don't know whether he has anything to do with all this or not, but he has.

He watches something. Yep. Looks like I got a real honey this time. You did. But it's vital to us that those relief shipments get through. Trouble usually starts from empty stomachs. Yeah. That's all. You've got your sign of Steve.

You're playing leaves in two hours. Good luck. The American just landed the scene reported to the chief at once Yeah, you want to practice and you yeah, hey look driver, you know your way around the scene pretty well I'm sure I leave you most of my life is in your at the edge of a tree

I was abroad here from Palermo, so I know every house every street every building every Okay, so you know your city now take me to the trap foundation warehouse Again trap foundation warehouse, you know where it is drop No, no, the frock. It's a...

Oh, well, never mind. Just take me to the Rhiansey Hotel. I'm sure you must have heard of that. You're sure? I'm gonna put you baggage in a cuss. Hello. Sorry I'm late. You're not late. You're just in time.

I heard you inquiring for the frock foundation, so you must be Ralph Gillette. I'm Helen Collier. I was supposed to meet you here at the airport, and I... Look, I'm afraid there's been a mistake. My name's not Gillette. It's Mitchell.

Steve Mitchell. Oh, I thought you were the one I was supposed to meet. I'm sorry. Believe me. I'm sorry too. Couldn't we just pretend I was? I'm afraid Mr. Archer wouldn't understand. Already, I don't like Mr. Archer.

Don't even know him. Who is he? My boss. He's in charge of the Foundation's office here in the Senate. Wait a minute. Do you work for the Frop Foundation? Mm-hmm. Mr. Archer has been expecting a new man to fly down from Rome.

Mr. Gillette. I thought you were he. Oh, I wonder if you'd tell me where the Foundation office is. I'm a foreign correspondent and I'd like an interview with your boss. Oh, well, I could go with you and show you where it is because it doesn't look like Mr.

Delat is on the plane anyway. Fine, I have a cab over here. You say you're a foreign correspondent. I suppose you want to do a story on the stolen release shipments. Yep. Well, good luck.

Mr. Archery doesn't want any publicity about it. He thinks we'll have an adverse effect on donations in the States. Oh, well, here we are. Uh, pardon us, gentlemen. There's no one to answer. If the water is the man's way.

Of course, you're pardon, Senor. Well, I'll see if I can get some kind of a statement from him. Are there just the two of you in the Messino office? Yes, right now. There were three of us.

Paul Wainwright was the third, but he... Well, he got fired a few days ago. I saw tell Rens, you know? No. Drop Foundation. Tropa? Tropa? Via Delgado? Oh, see, Senorina. Hey, you must have the magic touch.

This is Paul Wainwright. He was fired by Mr. Archer? Yes, three days ago. Senor, you ready, huh? See? Did you hear what the Senorina called the driver? See it, Eduardo. By it al-Ganta. That is the address of the Frop Foundation.

I will report it. You follow the American. Mr. Mitchell, you must understand my position. It's not that I don't want to cooperate with you and your press association, but the same... Yes, stolen shipments are news, Mr. Archer and news is my job.

Well, I know all that, but just stop and think what's going to happen if the news spreads around back in the States. Our donations would probably stop coming in. We think it's vital that these shipments continue.

I see. Well, in that case, could you give me an off-the-record statement about it? I might, if I were sure it would be treated as such. I'll make a deal with you. We won't break the story unless or until the thieves are rounded up.

Hmm. Well, all right. I guess that's fair enough. There have been three shipments stolen, right? Yes, from our warehouse. It's right downstairs. Yes, I noticed it as I came up. Did you have anyone guarding the shipments?

Of course. We kept doubling the guard, but each time they were overpowered. Hmm. Sounds like the thieves have a pretty large outfit. Yes, apparently they do. I suppose you've heard of the bandit they call Lorenzo.

Certainly, everybody in the sisley's heard of him. He's got the whole country tear eye. He's supposed to have a hideout up in the mountains. I know what you're thinking, Mr. Mitchell. That Lorenzo's men could have stolen the shipments. I thought of that right away myself.

Well, it's possible, isn't it? Yes, it's possible. Personally, I don't think Lorenzo had anything to do with it. With Lorenzo's reputation, what it is, it would be relatively easy for someone else to make it look as if Lorenzo had done it.

That's an interesting thought. Incidentally, you fired one of your men a few days ago, didn't you, Paul Wayne Wright? That is something that I'd rather not discuss. Oh? Because I don't want to persecute the man just because some of his actions appeared vaguely suspicious to me. I...

I have no proof of anything at all. I see. Well, thanks for the information. I'll see you later. You wish it, Faber, ci nio? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Great. Right here.

I am Carlotta. What will you have? Beer. But it is after dark. It's time to drink wine. Emily, post me not like it, but I still want beer. Anything you wish. I'll bring it. Look, is the boss in Carlotta?

Emilio Dumarti. See, he's here. Why? I like the scenery. I might set up a charge account. Where is he? The fat one. Over at the bar. I will tell him to come over. No, no, never mind. I'll go over there.

I see. See, I'm coming. Emilio Donate? So I'm a call, does he know? I told a friend of mine in the States, I'd say, hello to you. So, I know many people in the States is in your...

I'm pretty sure you'll know my friend. It's a commissioner. I'm Steve Mitchell. And name can be used by anyone as in yours. You recognize the handwriting? See, you are a Steve Mitchell. Well, how can I help?

I'm working on the theft of the relief shipment. Yeah, I thought that would be a very bad thing, Steve. There are so many people hungry here in the city. Yeah. There are so many people are hungry here in the city.

Yeah. Look, a fellow named Paul Wainwright was fired from the Throp Foundation a few days ago and Archer acts like he thinks Wainwright is involved in the fifth. Paul Wainwright, I know who he is.

I'd like to talk to him when you arrange it. She? In an hour or two, I will send the words for him to come to the back room of my bar off the alley. We can talk to him there.

After eleven, Wainwright ought to be showing up pretty soon, hadn't he? See? He should have been here by now, Steve. There's another lead I want to run down to, Amelia. You have any idea where the bandit Lorenzo's headquarters are?

Ooshi. In the mountains to the west over here. I think you could furnish me a guide. A guide? Yeah. Just to get me into the general area. After that I'll go at a loan and do a little reconlidering undercover.

Steve, you must not try a thing like that. Look, it's the quickest way of proving whether Lorenzo's involved in these bets or not, if he is. He's probably got a lot of the supplies hidden way in those mountains.

his men would capture you. He has a lookout all over the mountains. Just last month, an entire division went up there. Sure, sure. That's the point. There were so many Lorenzo's men spotted them easy. But one man alone in the brush could be hard to find.

Musty. Lorenzo has a small army of cottrots up there. They are fanatically loyal to him. Can you get me a guide? The danger. You must realize the danger. Yeah, yeah. Lorenzo isn't stupid enough to kill an American correspondent.

Ah ha, that must be pulled away right. Come in, I see your win right. No thanks. Look, Denali, and you too, whatever your name is. There's a waste of time. We've got nothing to talk about.

Oh, win right. Right in the back. I mean you'll get out of the light. No. Someone's running down the alley. Don't follow him, Steve. Huh? It may be a trap. There may be others waiting in the dark.

Yeah, I guess you're right. Win right. See, he's a dead Steve. Now perhaps you realize that there's a real danger here for you. They know you are not a correspondent. You still wish a guide?

I'll be waiting in room 23, Rienzej Hotel. Alright, I will send a man over. Signor Mitchell? Yeah, who are you? Cassella. Cassella? I suppose the main something to me? Emilio de Nati said to be to you.

Oh, you're the guy at C. Signor. I am too conducted at the mountain where Lorenzo and his band are hiding. Oh, Mario didn't lose any time, did he? It was thought best to travel at night, just that we may be in the mountains before the sun comes up.

Yeah, I guess that would be best. We will drive to the foot of the mountains by car. Then we'll use horses on the trails. It is all arranged. Good. When do you want to start?

As soon as possible. OK, let's go. What do you narrow trail up here, Cocella? C'est signor. About time for sunrise, isn't it? But if you know minutes, then it will be light. You see, you think Lorenzo's hiding out somewhere on that mountain, not very head of it see that is what I have heard okay let's stop here a minute

I'll go it alone from here Casela there's no point in your going any farther thanks very much see you signal you're right there is no point in going any farther put your hands in front of you what do as I say senior I am going to tie your hands look what is this anyway hey wait a minute you're one of Lorenzo's

men so true senior it will do you know good to resist do not try to escape there's a man blocking your chair see he has a gun okay I'll try it through you stop I'm coming through it's one of me it's one of hell okay that's for the double cross I said stop okay looks like you win good now I tell you hold your

Here's one of them. I've got a horse to go. This way. So, see your mitch. Kacela, are you all right? See, I think so. Except my nose. It is bleeding. Full. You deserve it. Come, we'll take the American to Lorenzo.

He's coming to Eduardo. Hotel Lorenzo. See? Kacela. See? See, casselle. This is what the bloody nose you gave me, saying your... Looks like I got taken for the well-known ride. I thought Emilio Donato was a friend.

Sometimes it is difficult to know who your friends are. You're so right. Here is Lorenzo now. Well, see your meat show. You're feeling better now, huh? Not much. Welcome to my camp. Thanks. So you're Lorenzo.

See, I have that honor. Honor? Of course. Hmm. Where are we? Walk with me and I will show you. As you see, you're on top of a mountain. This is my headquarters. Hey, you can see a hundred miles from here.

See, this is why I choose this place. But where are the guards? Guards? Huh. You are not my prisoner. You are my guest. But see, below us, my men are camped there. Is it not a reassuring sight?

Eh, it looks like a small army. 120 Patriots. Patriots, you call them. Of course, they serve Lorenzo. Got a pretty good opinion of yourself, huh? I am one of the most brilliant men I have ever met.

Really? You know, you don't talk like you've spent your whole life in these mountains. Oh, I have, as you say, been around. I attended a university in Italy for two years. But you came back to this. How come?

A sense of duty, Senor. I rub the rich and give to the poor. Yeah. That sounds pretty Lorenzo. But are you sure it's not just because you're a thief at heart? You are sure it's in your... Well, why not? From my experience in the world, I have learned that one must look after oneself. Consider the recent war. Nobody wanted. Consider

the peace. Again, nobody wins it. Everyone quarrels and fights. Now, is it not much more clever to take what one wants to be concerned only with oneself? You know, your kind of thinking isn't helping things any.

Perhaps not, but it is profitable to me. As senior, this conversation is pleasant, but I still do not understand why you were so anxious to spy on my cat. No. You ever hear the Throp Foundation?

No, what is this, senior? A relief outfit that's been shipping food and medical supplies here to Sicily. Oh? Does this concern me? That's what I'm wondering. At least three shipments have been stolen from a warehouse in the scene.

And of course you think that I stole them. It's a pretty good bet. I am sorry to disappoint you, Senior, but as you see, there are no supplies here. Look around you. I have nothing to hide.

No. It is my fate, Senior. Whenever a crime is committed in Sicily, I am immediately accused. I suppose I should feel flattered. It has often occurred to me that the police must find me very convenient.

How so? It would be most embarrassing for them if I were captured. and they would have no one to blame for all their unsolved crimes. Well I'm sorry you made this trip for nothing, senior.

Well, you've got nothing to hide. How come you went to so much trouble to capture me? I was told you wanted to see Lorenz so I thought I would make it easy. You were very rough with my mens in your.

But no matter, we will be friends. And you will go back to America and tell everyone what a gracious host is Lorenz. Oh, you want to press agent, huh? Wait a minute, that girl coming up the trail, she looks awfully familiar.

Huh, her name is Carlotta. Yeah, yeah, now I recognize it. She works at Emilio Donati's bar. Everything's starting to add up. I'm afraid Carlotta is not very happy with me at present. No. She has been very useful to me in the past, but she is so possessive.

She is very upset to learn that there had been another woman here. There you see how she sulks? I believe she thinks that she is punishing me. Ah, Carlotta, my dear. Speak to me, Lorenzo. Do not speak to me.

You climbed up here to tell me that. I am true, but you have not been true to me. You are not very flattering, my dear. Of course, I have not been true to you. That would be to the private others.

Oh, so good for nothing, you. I think I'd better leave you here to take out your temper on the American. I have other affairs to look after. The beast. I lie for him. I steal for him.

I'm maybe you ought to pick your friends a little more carefully. So you're the one that put the bee on me at Donaris, huh? You had Lorenzo send that phony guide to my room. Treat me this way after all I do for him.

Oh, the beast! I do not think you would treat me that way. I think if you were my friend, you would treat me nice. Now look, would you like to be Carlotta's friend? It's okay with me if you're trying to make Lorenzo jealous, but use somebody else.

They cut it out. No, give me. You like it. Well, under other circumstances, maybe. Right now, no. You should not have done that, Carlotta. There are apps that will show you cannot treat me as you have.

If you do not want me, there are others who do. You are such a child, Carlotta. I am afraid this presents a problem. Look, there's no problem. I've got no interest in Carlotta. Believe me.

Oh, I'm aware of that. But some of my men there below may have seen her. may have seen her kiss you senior and that is the problem I must not allow anything to shake their confidence in me the appearance is everything no it is not Carlotta I am thinking about she is nothing dog that you should talk about

me like that what if I were to tell the American about that I'm not going to say Carlotta then you would wish you had not treated me that way I told you to keep your mouth shut. I will tell. On the other side of the month, it's a cave.

Lorenzo had hidden the relief shipment there. Well Lorenzo. So you've got nothing to hide. Now indeed I have no choice in your. Calata, give me your scarf. You're going to fight with the knives over me. Full. To think it is you I am considering. Hey look how let's consider After me for a minute, I did not intend to kill you, Senor, but as you see now I must.

Here, take this knife. Now wait a minute. Put the end of the scarf between your teeth. There, as I do the other end. So now we circle slowly. Hey, look, let's call this foolishness. What are you?

Do not hold the knife that way. Use the on the hand grip. Do you know nothing at all about knife fighting? As much as I want to know, not for the last time. I am sorry to defend yourself.

Okay, you asswork. You twist the knife from my hand. Yeah, you may know knife fighting, but you're pretty sad on Judo. And so, you killed Lorenzo. Just a rabbit punch lady. Won't even leave a scar.

So long. Talk, talk, talk. Oh, God. Carisimo. He's killed you. Lorenzo, Lorenzo. Well, you stop that silly babbling. Lorenzo, you are all right. See, except the back of my neck. I will tell your man to go after him.

No, this is a personal matter. They might find it hard to understand how the American escaped from me. I will go after him alone. I will go with you. You will wait here, Colota. I will attend to you when I return.

Or end so. I may be gone until dark because if I do not find the American then there is someone in my scene I must talk to. Now get me my horse. Like my wind is shot.

Maybe see I was too. Hey, horse. I'm gonna play it safe. Donate! What? Over here, Emilio. He, the fever mister, you are safe. Yeah, I sent a guy to your room the first thing this morning.

He said you were gone. Yeah, when Lorenzo's men got there first. Your waiter, Calada, tipped them off about me. Calada? Yeah. Think that horse of yours can carry both of us? Lorenzo's men, they will be after you.

Yeah, that's a good reason for not hanging around here any longer. Alright, come on, I'm gonna help you up in it. Wait, listen. The horse is coming. Come on, get your horse into the brush here.

He'll cover up his nose so he won't win it. It's Lorraine, so he's alone. Yeah, heading towards Messina too. Look, I have a gun. We can capture him. No, no, not yet. Come on. We've given the lead. Then follow him into Messina.

It's possible. He's got more on his mind than just finding me. If so, I want to know what it is. Lorraine, sir. In your arch. You fool coming here to the foundation office. My secretary will be back any minute.

The American escape. How could he? We will not go into that. Oh, you stupid fool! You've ruined everything! Mitchell must know all about the stolen shipments now. See, he knows I stole them, but he does not know that you are involved, Archer.

He might as well wear a froun hour and so froun, and all because of your stupidity. Do not talk that way to me, Archer. I'd planned it so well. Even when Paul Wayne might became suspicious, I fired him.

Then I had his mouth shut permanently. Now you ruined it! You thundering half-breathing! You keep your must up! This will help you! I'm going so I'll kill you. This gun is quicker than your knife.

What the hell? Lorenzo and Archie. Ha, the gold is twins. Metro. Very neat. So you two did work it together, aren't you? You're wrong, Metro. I... I've just captured an notorious bench. Huh? You lying dog.

It was you who arranged this. Hey. Get back, get back, Majung. Give me that. That gun's safer with me, aren't you? You've got nothing on me. You mean because Lorenzo can't talk? If you want to put it that way.

There's one witness you overlooked, aren't you? A lot. Yeah. When she finds out you kill Lorenzo, she'll sing plenty and it's a song you're not gonna like. Well did you send your report to the commissioner Steve?

Yeah, I called him. He said the prop foundation that's in the new man over to head up the office here. Well, and now you can relax for a few days. We're going to eat and drink and have a good time.

You will have such a food as you'll never taste. It's got a beanie, it's got all a peach. I eat it. I eat it. That sounds fine, Emilio. But I think I'll be heading back to the States.

Now watch the hurry. Well, someone back there is keeping some fried chicken on ice for me. Well, it would be fried chicken. Yeah. It's got to be eaten on a boat, too. Steve, I don't understand.

What's so special about eating a fried chicken on a boat? well you see she's uh... not the chicken that is that all well just take my word for it along a million first at the first in an exciting new adventure series dangerous assignment starring brian don levi and written by bob brian this program was directed by bill carland with music by bruce ashley
