Dangerous Assignment: A Nursery Rhyme

Starring Brian Donnlevy 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, 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 who I get sent to this time? French Riviere.

There, there we... Hey, 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 Bisco. Oh, the Czech author? Yes, he's been living in 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 massed to mind 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've been. Steve Bisco has completed all the arrangements to smuggle out into free Europe the most important man yet. Oh is it? His name is Gocek. He's an atomic scientist.

And he can give us a first-hand account of the status of atomic research behind the Iron Curtain. I say enough, said, where's this Gocek now? He's been hiding in Prague waiting for Bisco to make the necessary arrangements.

So 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. Well that thing, that thing, keep it on. 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. And Don Levy as 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 Don Levy, starring in the role of Steve Mitchell, will embark on another dangerous assignment.
