Dangerous Assignment: Anti-Sub Plans

Dangerous assignment, starring Brian Donilevy 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.

But when I walk into the commissioner's office I don't realize this assignment's going to end up with me having somebody take a picture of my own murder. Morning Commissioner. Ruth said you had an assignment for me.

I do Steve, you're playing Lee Swahady in one hour. Well, guess I'd better brush up on Mavudu before somebody puts his other whammy on me. Might be a good idea, see, because I'm sending you down there to put the whammy on somebody else.

What's the deal, connection? Have you seen the current issue of this picture magazine? No, what about it? I've got a spread on Haiti. Yeah, take a look at it. This picture in particular. Native, jungle, deep, and interior of Haiti.

So it's a native village. What am I supposed to do? Get down there and check the plumbing? Take a look at those natives in the background. Just a bunch of them standing around the Hudson.

Hey, wait. One of them looks like he's wearing a leather flight jacket. Right. We got a copy of that picture and had a section of it blown up. Can you read the name on that flight jacket now?

F. Carlson. F. Carlson it is. Oh, look, Commissioner, I still don't... Remember Operation Fish Hook? Heard the name a couple of months ago, but I never knew what man for anything. Two months ago, a group of scientists left for the Caribbean to conduct research and tests.

They were working on a revolutionary theory of anti-submarine warfare, a self-propelled depth charge with approximately few. That was Operation Fish Hook? Yes, I'll skip the technical details. But what it boils down to is the most effective weapon against a submarine that's ever been devised.
