Transcript
Listen to Herbert Marshall as the man called X. Wherever there is mystery, adventure, intrigue, in all the strange and dangerous places of the world, there you will find the man called X. The country, the men involved, must remain anonymous and unknown.
The reports of those intimately concerned are safely buried in the most secret governmental files. Someday perhaps their story will become part of history. Today, only three living men know the story. The unbelievable story of what really happened during Operation Cabal.
There they are again. The latest reports from the city of Peralta. I think you'd better read them. Sure, Chief Young. Huh. Looks like a familiar pattern, alright? Routing the streets, impending national emergency, unscheduled military maneuvers.
There's a revolution cooking, alright? It has to be. And, for instance, the capital of one of the most democratic countries in the Southern Hemisphere. A million of her father was one of the greatest presidents she's ever had.
Can? If a country like that becomes totalitarian. Yeah. It might be the beginning of a tidal wave that could drown the world. Yeah. What's the bureau done about it? I know I've got one of our best men down there.
Bill for dear. Well, what's the bill come up with? Not too much. A general Jose Lopez seems to be the leader of the opposition. Lopez, no chief of their general staff, the man who wanted them to side with Hitler during the last war.
That's right. What's the president Hoorado doing about it? He hasn't been seen in public for over a month. He may be sick, dead, held in communicado with anybody's guests. So what are we going to do about it? Nothing we can do, Chief.
