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.

I do Steve and don't bother to sit down. You're playing Lee's for Malay in one hour. Malay? Look, I just got out of one jungle. Don't tell me you're sending me back into another one.

Just what I am telling you, Steve. Aren't you sort of stretching my luck a little? That's the right word for it all right. Stretching? Yeah. What do you mean? Rubber? A joke street yet? Okay, what's the deal?

They've asked our cooperation in the matter, Steve, and I think the main reason is, there's a rumor that the leader of these bandits is an American.
