Transcript

The National Broadcasting Company brings you Brian Donlevier, Steve Mitchell in... Dangerous assignment! I'm Sunset. The place, a small fishing village on the coast of Portugal. Two fishermen, trudged to early homeward, passed a deserted monastery near the waterfront.

A sudden sound breaks the stillness of the evening air. Sanchez! Listen, huh? The monastery bears ringing! Oh, but that is impossible, Maranya. No one has lived in that monastery for five years. Now he's quiet.

Come, Sanjis, we better go see. Oh, Naranya, here is some food and blankets. Someone has been living here. Sanjis, look. Oh, madramir. A man hanging from the Bellrow, which let us cut him down. He's too late, Naranya.

He's dead. You've seen him in such pictures as Wake Island, stand by for action and command decision. Now, here's our star, Brian Don Levy and another two-fisted portrayal as Steve Mitchell in Dangerous Assignment. Hi, Commissioner. You know, you pull me away for more big deals.

I want to talk to you about Alan Prescott, Steve. Oh, is he back? That's good. No, he's not back. Steve, Alan Prescott is dead. Let me have that again. I'm sorry, Steve. I know he was one of your best frameworks.

Alan did? How did it happen, Commissioner? He was found hanging from a bell rope in a deserted monastery. Where? Portuguese fishing village, Miss Imbre is the name of it. What was he doing there? Alan had been assigned to investigate rumors about a wholesale racket to smuggle aliens into the United States.

Oh, looks like he got too warm. Yeah. Steve, I figured you'd want this assignment. I do. There'll be any contacts over there. One, and for change it's a man we know we can trust. He's helped us before in the past and he was working with Alan on this illegal entry investigation.
