By your local four-dealer who is now displaying the new 1951 four, the car that's built for the years ahead. And by RCA Victor, world leader in radio, first in recorded music, first in television. Yeah, danger is my assignment.

I get sent to a lot of places I can't even pronounce. They all spell the same thing, old trouble. But when I walk into the commissioner's office, I don't realize this assignment's going to involve a worthless scrap of paper which almost turns out to be my own death warrant.

Good morning, Commissioner. Next, Steve. I suppose I pulled you right out of a big deal as you were. No, matter of fact, it was all very innocent this time, Commissioner. I was out getting some new furniture from my apartment.

You were what? Sure. I just bought a coffee table with a lazy Susan. Really? Well, on second thought, Susan wasn't so lazy after all. That's what I thought. Oh, Commissioner, I finally got the jump on you.

How's that? You're always calling me in here and sending me off into the wild blue yonder. So this time I'm ready for you. I'm all packed up and I've got my passport in my pocket.
