dangerous assignment, starring Brian Donnley as Steve Mitchell. Yeah, 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 Commissioner's office, I don't realize this assignment is going to prove that sometimes the best way to stop one
fight is to start another one. Hey Commissioner, you sound familiar Steve? I don't think you're going to like this assignment. Well, break it to me gently then. What am I supposed to do? Step in the middle of a fight between two women? Oh, brother, anything but that Commissioner. It's vitally important we patch up a family squabbles Steve, because of a lease our government has, or had, I should
say, on a certain strategic mining property in the Belgian Congo. What's the trouble? That lease expired a month ago. We've been trying to get the owners of the property together, so we could negotiate another lease. But it seems the ladies are on speaking terms.
Oh, that sounds just peachy for me. One is the widow of Aristide Beziero, the original owner. The other is Beziero's sister. These two women now own the mining property jointly. What are they beefing about, Commissioner?
Who knows? Whatever it is, this causes serious breach between them. We've been informed there's a lawsuit in the office. Oh, great. Nothing like a lawsuit to tie up in the state. Meanwhile, the mine remains idle, and we need those strategic minerals desperately, Steve.
Get down to the Congo, to the virtual estate in Leopoldville, and find out what this is all about. Well, that's it. You've got your assignment. Good luck. The National Broadcasting Company is presenting dangerous assignment, starring Brian Donnley, on the role of Steve Mitchell, colorful, tooth-fisted government agent.
