Transcript

Dangerous assignment starring Brian Donlevi 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 don't realize this assignment's going to wind up with me staking my life on a bluff,

and then finding out much to my surprise that I wasn't bluffing at all. Morning, Commissioner. Ruth said you wanted to see me. Steve, last night three men landed in Miami by playing. Miami by plane. They were picked up in the limousine. The local police chased them and the car crashed, killing all three men.

So, what's all this got to do with us, Commissioner? One of those men was a well-known foreign agent. Oh, I see. How about the other two? The check was made on their identities. Lonely, both of them. Oh, you mean they were carrying phony identification papers? No, the papers were legitimate enough, but they didn't belong to the men who were carrying them.

We believe those papers were stolen from US citizens who were traveling abroad. And in each case, those citizens were traveling alone. and unattached. Well, I will get to ten that also, in each case, those U.S. citizens are dead right now.

Exactly. Steve, it looks like we're up against a clever and vicious scheme to get foreign agents into the States. Yeah, they grab one of our tourists, bump them off, take his papers, and then slip one of their boys into the States with those papers.

We've got to work fast. We don't know how many times they've pulled this trick so far, but we've got to keep them from continuing. Get down to Miami, Steve. Backtrack their operation until you find out who's behind it.
