Dangerous Assignment: Pen Mightier Than The Sword

Starring Brian Donlavi as Steve Mitchell. 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 that this assignment's going to prove that not only is the pen mightier than the sword, the ink bottle is mightier than the gun.

Morning, Commissioner. Ruth said you had an assignment for me. I do, Steve, and you're playing Leaves in an Hour. Oh, well, what uncivilized neck of the world do I get sent to this time? French Riviera.

The way. I must have been living right lately. Hey, tell me, do they still wear those bathing suits over their commission? I'm afraid you won't have much time to be looking at bathing suits, Steve.

I'm more interested in looking at an elderly man. You want a bet? Okay, so who's the elderly man? Jan Visco. Oh, the Czech author? Yes, he's been living on the Riviera since the war, Steve.

He's been instrumental in smuggling quite a few worthwhile citizens out from behind the Iron Curtain. Oh, that's news to me. It should be. It's a very closely guarded secret. because obviously certain interests would like very much to know who's mass demanding the operation that's been a thorn in their side for the last four years.

I still don't see what the deal is or where I fit in. Steve Bisco has completed all the arrangements to smuggle out into free Europe, the most important man yet. Oh is it? His name is Go Check. He's an atomic scientist and he can give us a first-hand account of the status of atomic research behind the Iron Curtain.

Oh, no. Now we can meet Go-Chek instead of Magda. Yeah, I'm sure he'll like our kind of a reception much better than Hurry. Oh, that theme! That theme, keep it up! If it hadn't been for that, you'd probably be still on top.

Yep, it was the ink that tripped you up, coming and going. I guess you might say it sort of put a blot on your record. Starring Brian Donlevier, Steve Mitchell, with her Butterfield as the Commissioner, is written by Bob Rife and Adrian Gondo, with music by Robert Armbruster, and is produced and directed by Bill Carn.

Others in the cast were Betty Lou Gerson, Don Diamond, Hal Gerard, Lynn Allen, and Fritz Feld. Be with us again next week at this same time when Brian Donlevy, starring in the role of Steve Mitchell, will embark on another dangerous assignment.
