Transcript
Danger is the assignment starring Brian Donlevey 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 commission's office I don't realize this assignment's going to wind up with a native bandit giving me a big break by heaving a knife at me. Good morning Commissioner. Ruth said you wanted to see me.
