Good. Here's a set of Steve. Shortly before the Japanese surrender, an entire boatload of Japanese weapons disappeared. We have reason to think they're hidden somewhere in Panama. Whoever has them is willing to sell with the highest bidder.

How many weapons are involved? Enough to equip three divisions. Well, Bill Thorne must have been getting warm. Yes, obviously. Well, he got killed. Steve, we can't afford to have a hidden cache of weapons that close to the canal.

Who do I work with down there? Lieutenant Peters of the National Police in Panama City. Many other contacts who might help me. One, his name is Emil Fager. He owns a large plantation down there, quite an influential man.

Can we trust him? In this business, who knows? But he has done several favors for us in the past. When does my plane leave? Half an hour. Steve, I don't need to tell you about the danger involved.

They've already killed Bill Thorne, I'll be gunning for you too. The usual you'll pose is a foreign correspondent. Actually, your job is to find those weapons. Yeah, and find out who killed Bill Thorne. Yes.
