Dangerous Assignment: Missing Scientist

Dangerous assignment, starring Brian Donlavy as Steve Mitchell. 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 give me a lesson in etiquette. I'd always thought it was rude to turn down a free drink. Now I know it can be fatal.

Morning, Commissioner. Ruth said you had an assignment for me. I do, Steve. Ever done any bullfighting? Well, I've shot a little in my time, but never fought any. Why? You're playing leaves from a dread Spain in one hour.

I'm fine to Spain to do some both fighting. And me without even a cape. Steve, ever hear of Dr. Wechek? Wechek, sure. He's the greatest European scientist alive today. What about him? Right now, and that's for sure.

That he's the greatest European scientist? No, that he's alive today. What? Steve, Dr. Wechek's field, as you probably know, is electronics. He's developed a new theory that could result in a revolutionary type of radio tube.

radio tube, a tube which does the work of three ordinary tubes. You can see how important that would be in the manufacture of radar and all other electronic devices. Yeah, but what's this business about? We check not being alive.

Dr. We check agreed to come to this country and turn over his research to us, to work with us in the development of this tube. He and his assistant, a man named Manescu, were due two weeks ago, but he hasn't shown up.

You said I was flying to Spain. You think Dr. We check is there? We traced him to a villa outside of Madrid, the home of La Havista. of these but hey that means the wasp yeah that's what they call her in spain she's a lady bullfighter you kidding no she's very famous a friend of dr we cheques but
