Dangerous Assignment: Kroner Cutlass

Dangerous assignments starring Brian Donlevy 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, they'll trouble. But when I walk into the Commissioner's office, I don't realize this assignment's going to involve my trying to hold an Eastern European country together with my fingering.

Morning Commissioner, Ruth said you had an assignment for me. I do, Steve. Well, where do I go this time? To jail. Let's have that again. You heard me, I'm sending you to jail. Now, look, so maybe I did pad my expense account a little last month, but that isn't enough reason.

Seriously, Steve, there's someone in jail I want you to talk to, a woman. Oh, well, you're sounding better by the moment. I'm afraid you don't get the point. Okay, what is the point? The point is on the end of the Chrono Cutlass, and it's a sharp one.

Look, jail, sword points. I think you better start at the beginning, Commissioner. Take a look at this map, Steve. See this little country in Eastern Europe? What about it? Politically, it's on the fence right now.

As you know, that country has had a history of violence stretching back hundreds of years. Wait a minute, the Croner Cutlass, isn't that regarded as a sort of symbol of unity in that country? Whoever has had it in his possession has always been able to rally the country behind him.

Yes, the Croner Cutlass has been a symbol of unity, or rather was. What do you mean was? Just before the end of the war, the Croner Cutlass was given to a U.S. Army lieutenant for safety-ping by one of their national leaders.
