Thanks so much Doug. Well

2:32

now it is time for

2:34

this week's episode of Dangerous

2:36

Assignment. The original air date?

2:38

April 29th, 1953 and the title

2:42

is Strategic Base Sabotage.

2:45

Let's go ahead and take a listen. Dangerous

3:00

Assignment transcribed starring Brian

3:02

Donlevie as Steve Mitchell.

3:20

Yeah, Danger is my assignment. I get sent to a

3:22

lot of places I can't even pronounce. They all spell

3:25

the same thing, no trouble. But when I walk into

3:27

the Commissioner's office, I don't realize that this assignment is

3:29

going to find me doing my level best to get

3:31

blown up. Morning

3:40

Commissioner. You sent for me? Steve, as you

3:42

know, our government has recently joined with Australia

3:44

and New Zealand in a program of restoring

3:46

and reconditioning certain strategic naval and air installations

3:48

in the Pacific, mainly anti-submarine bases.

3:50

Sure, what about it? Lately, we've run into

3:52

nothing but trouble down there on one of

3:54

the islands. It slowed our construction schedule to

3:57

a walk. Sabotage? Yes, last night a freighter

3:59

was blown. up at the docks in Rabaul,

4:01

New Guinea. The ship was loaded

4:03

with supplies and equipment to be delivered to the

4:05

Australian project on Manus Island, as well as to

4:07

our islands farther north. A

4:09

dock worker is suspected of having caused the blast.

4:12

He was spotted sneaking away from the ship a

4:14

few moments before the explosion occurred. The

4:16

Australians have one of their agents on the job,

4:18

Dawes Malcolm. Check with him when you get to

4:20

Rabaul. The two of you will work together. It's

4:23

vitally important to all concerned we put an end

4:25

to this sabotage and get our construction program back

4:27

on schedule. Well, that's it, Steve. You got

4:29

your assignments. Good luck. The

4:46

National Broadcasting Company is presenting Dangerous Assignments,

4:49

starring Brian Donlevie on the role of

4:51

Steve Mitchell, colorful, two-fisted government

4:53

agent. At all those

4:55

places of the world where danger and intrigue walk

4:57

hand in hand, there you will

4:59

find Steve Mitchell on another dangerous

5:02

assignment. Here's

5:04

a reminder about Thursday's entertainment schedule

5:11

Knows Best. Roy Rogers

5:13

5:35

fun. It's an enjoyable

5:37

evening of great radio entertainment, so

5:40

be sure to hear it all every

5:42

Thursday night on the NBC Radio Network.

5:51

Sure,

5:53

I've got my assignment. Get down to Reval and look in

5:55

and pick up the trail of a dockworker suspected of blowing

5:58

up a freighter. lead

6:00

the Nailos responsible for sabotaging our

6:02

program of rebuilding strategic bases in

6:04

the South Pacific. It's noon

6:06

Thursday when my plane lands at Rabaul and

6:09

Australian Special Agent Dawes Malcolm is there to

6:11

meet me. Before I can

6:13

catch my breath he whisks me into

6:15

another plane. I'm sorry for the rash

6:17

act Steve, this concerns our duck friend,

6:19

Karwee, the Malay, wreck the freighter. I

6:22

learned he'd hopped aboard a ship yesterday afternoon, a

6:24

small corporate trader headed north. You know exactly where

6:26

she's headed? Yes here, I have a map I'll

6:29

show you. He's down for

6:31

this island here called Lito Sand, the fourth island

6:33

in the chain. Got

6:35

a good head start on it. Oh he's already arrived in

6:37

Lito Sand, I'm certain of that. I

6:39

know the ship he was on, she's fast.

6:41

How big an island is Lito Sand? Quite

6:43

a large trading center, there's a village, shops,

6:46

several big plantations, chap could hide out for

6:48

weeks. You don't seem concerned. I'm not, we'd

6:51

have a line on Karwee five minutes after we

6:53

land. Such confidence. Hey you own a

6:55

Ouija board? No, but I

6:57

have a friend in Lito Sand who possesses the

6:59

soul of a ferret. I've

7:01

already contacted said friend and instructed to

7:03

make inquiries. As good as owning

7:05

a Ouija board, don't you think? Sometimes better.

7:15

It's early afternoon when our plane settles down on

7:17

the island of Lito Sand, the place is not

7:19

exactly a beehive of activity. Our

7:21

hot sun is beating down on the village and the

7:24

streets are deserted. We hurry over

7:26

to the trading posts where we find

7:28

Malcolm's rather large friend seated on a

7:30

veranda. Large friend is comfortably

7:32

settled in a wicker rocker swatting flies

7:34

with one hand and holding a tall

7:36

cool drink in the other. Last

7:38

of the heat. So help me

7:40

Hannah, I'm gonna pack up and get me out of

7:42

here one of these days. You've been saying that

7:44

for 20 years Bella, you never go. Oh now

7:47

you watch. One of these days sweet

7:49

pea. One of these days. Quite. Uh

7:52

Steve Mitchell, Bella Draski. Hello. Oh

7:57

sit down Steve. Fix him a drink sweet pea.

8:00

Yeah, I could use one. You

8:03

play Pinocchio Steve? Sure. Hallelujah!

8:05

You hear that, sweet pea?

8:08

I heard. I'll send one of my boys to

8:10

fetch the skipper of the Salabas Queen, and we'll-

8:12

Down, fella, down, down. We've got other things to

8:14

do first. Easy drink, Steve. Pinocchio

8:17

players are hard to find on this blasted

8:19

island. That Malay galooch you're

8:21

after ain't gonna run away. We'll

8:24

have time for a game if these blasted

8:26

flies- Where is he, fella? Oh,

8:29

out at the old Hennison place. Used to work for

8:31

Jim. Well, I thought that plantation was closed down.

8:33

Well, might as well be the way that

8:35

Smith is runnin' it. Joseph Smith, he calls

8:37

himself. Ah! You around here, isn't

8:39

he? Oh, moved in about six months

8:41

ago. Don't know a thing about runnin' the place

8:43

if you ask me. Only thing he knows how

8:45

to raise is a thirst, and that's often. Already

8:48

he's got the place up for sale. And you

8:50

say that Malay Cawey is out there now? Yeah,

8:53

yeah. Smith hired him. Glad to get him,

8:55

too. Not many of the natives will work

8:57

for him. I'll run out there alone and

8:59

sort of browse around. You said the plantation

9:01

was for sale, fella. Yeah, but only

9:03

a gent with a hole in his head would be interested.

9:06

Oh, I've got a hole in my head, Malcolm. Uh, what

9:09

sort of description do you have

9:11

of the Malay? Oh, he's a

9:13

small man, approximately five-two. Slight build,

9:15

wiry type. Usually wears dangarees and

9:17

blue shirt. Wool cap. A

9:19

three-inch scar on the right jaw. Oh, okay. Fella.

9:26

Rasted fly must be equipped with radar. How

9:29

about giving Steve your car? Oh, you're welcome

9:31

to the old rattle trap, honey. Thanks, fella.

9:34

Here, you'll need this to start it.

9:36

Huh? A hairpin? Lost the

9:38

ignition key ten years ago. This will start

9:40

the car. Half the estop a few times

9:42

on the floorboards. Yeah. Five

9:53

minutes later, I'm wheeling Bailer's two-tone Essex

9:55

along the docks. directions

10:00

and turn into the jungle head south

10:03

I whip along at the incredible speed of

10:05

10 miles an hour for the next mile

10:07

or so and then the jungle gets thicker

10:09

the road narrower the bouncing bounce here I

10:12

round the bend and spot three people walking along

10:14

the road ahead hello

10:19

sir hi is

10:21

the old Henderson plantation far from here you

10:24

are on the plantation now I'm the owner

10:26

Joseph Smith oh my name is Mitchell I

10:28

heard your place was up for sale oh

10:30

yes yes it is mr. Mitchell is the

10:33

matter of fact I'm showing these people the

10:35

place now mr. Vani mr. Schuster a pleasure

10:39

indeed there mr. how do you

10:41

do mr. Mitchell mr. Devaney mr.

10:43

Schuster tell me here mr.

10:46

you are an agent what a

10:49

real estate agent you wish to buy

10:51

for yourself or someone else oh no

10:54

no for myself I see the reason

10:56

I asked my fiance and I've been

10:58

looking for a suitable by the past

11:00

month with very little success I

11:03

thought perhaps if you were an agent you

11:05

might know no I'm sorry afraid I can't

11:08

help you there mr. Mitchell I shall not

11:10

be long if you will drive on to

11:12

the house and wait there okay coming Elena

11:14

but darling if you don't mind I'm tired I

11:16

think I will go back to the house if

11:19

mr. Mitchell will be kind enough to offer

11:22

me a leave

11:25

this way down the path the plant is only a

11:27

hundred yards or so up

11:30

the board mr. money thank

11:32

you oh

11:35

wonderful mr. Mitchell I could

11:37

not have walked another step

11:40

I'll keep your fingers crossed I still have

11:42

to start up this monster first a twist

11:44

to the hairpin then a

11:47

one a two a three and away

11:49

we go quite

11:52

an automobile you I barred it in

11:56

the village not much to look at I'm afraid

12:00

What do you think of the place? I

12:03

prefer to live in this city.

12:05

Manila, Saigon, Singapore. Finds you,

12:08

clothes, dinner parties, prices. Yeah,

12:10

I know what you mean. Oh, really? I

12:13

like to move around, see the world. Have you seen much

12:16

of it, Mr. Mee-See? Quite

12:19

a little. A wonderful life

12:21

to travel with a right content. It

12:32

looks like a forward pass, but I let the

12:34

ball drop for the present. We finally pull up

12:36

to the main house and continue our conversation in the

12:38

shade of the white veranda. We're interrupted

12:40

a quarter of an hour later by the

12:42

arrival of a native worker jabbering excitedly. He

12:45

keeps pointing toward the jungle, so I follow less

12:47

than a hundred yards from the house. He

12:50

points to something in the brush. It's the body

12:52

of a man. A man

12:54

wearing a blue shirt, dungarees, and a very dead expression on

12:56

his face. Yeah, it's

12:58

Cauwe, the melee dock worker we've been

13:00

looking for. Brian

13:14

Donlevue will continue his dangerous assignment in

13:16

just a moment. Everyone

13:19

dreams of a rosy future when they'll finally be

13:21

able to retire and really enjoy life. Vacationing

13:24

in different lands, enjoying the scenery of our

13:26

own country, or just basking in the sunshine

13:28

of their own backyard. Well,

13:31

the dream can become a reality through

13:33

United States savings bonds. And

13:36

you don't have to be a rich man to

13:38

afford United States savings bonds. Yes,

13:40

you can buy a savings bond with a modest $18.75, or you can buy

13:43

a savings bond for $7,500. But

13:49

no matter what savings bond you buy, you'll

13:52

get back $4 for every $3 you put in. And

13:56

it's easy to buy United States savings bonds.

13:59

Look into the paper. savings plan where you

14:01

work. That's the

14:03

automatic plan for buying savings bonds, or

14:05

if you're self-employed, be sure

14:07

to ask about the bond a month plan where you

14:10

bank. And believe me,

14:12

you will feel more secure tomorrow if

14:15

you will buy United States savings bonds

14:18

today. I'll

14:27

take to dangerous assignment and

14:30

bam bam that is Steve

14:32

Mitchell. So I finally locate

14:34

the melee dock worker, Cauley

14:39

who sabotaged the freighter in New Guinea,

14:41

but it's too late. Somebody's closed his

14:43

mouth for keeps on Joseph

14:46

Smith's plantation on the island of

14:48

Lita Sanzo. I'm no closer

14:50

to finding out who's trying to sabotage the

14:52

construction of our defense bases in the area.

14:54

Smith and Schuster return to the plantation house

14:56

along about then I fill them in on

14:58

what's happened. Mitchell

15:01

I think you're trying to make something

15:03

out of nothing. A murder is nothing

15:05

Schuster? I know these natives. It's probably

15:07

a matter of revenge. They settle these

15:10

things by a knife sometimes. Perhaps

15:12

a woman was involved. I see. Elena,

15:15

did you ever see the dead man

15:17

before? Of course not. Smith, you and

15:19

Schuster were together showing him the plantation.

15:22

Well of course. That

15:24

is most of the time. Most of the

15:26

time. Yeah, Smith left me for a few

15:28

minutes. Said he wished to inspect the water

15:30

line. Which I did then return to Schuster

15:32

directly. See here Mitchell, what's the

15:34

meaning of all these questions of yours? Nothing,

15:36

Smith, nothing. I guess I'm just the nosy

15:38

type. It

15:48

is Schuster and Elena, shut off for the village.

15:50

I give them a few minutes lead while Smith

15:52

gives me a sales talk on the plantation. I

15:55

finally tell him I'm not interested and drive back

15:57

to Bayless Place in town. Malcolm's waiting for me.

16:02

That's bad, Steve. That's our one lead on the

16:04

person behind all this sabotage. I know, Malcolm. But

16:06

I've got a hunch if we find Cauley's killer,

16:08

we've got our boy. This Schuster

16:10

fellow. I've seen him around quite

16:12

a little for the last month. He's got a

16:14

boat and he's spread it around. He's looking for a

16:17

plantation to buy. That's right, Bailah. Malcolm,

16:19

I'd be interested in finding out all we can

16:21

about both men. Smith and

16:23

Schuster? Right. We can contact Rabaul

16:25

over the Port Authority radio. Good. Where's

16:27

the Port Authority office? Just down the

16:29

street. Near the waterfront. Let's go. I'll

16:31

see you later, Bailah. Oh, you fellas,

16:33

hurry up and get this over with.

16:35

Maybe we can have the cable pin-off.

16:37

Aren't you high, sweetie? How

16:40

long have you known her, Malcolm? Bailah? Oh,

16:43

several years. She's always been on the up

16:45

and up. As I know? Why? Just

16:47

wondering. She knew where Cauley

16:50

was hiding out. She knew I was going to

16:52

talk to him when I get there. He'd just

16:54

been killed. I'll see what you're being

16:56

out for. Just a thought. We

17:05

send a message to Rabaul asking for

17:07

information on Rudy Schuster and Joseph Smith.

17:10

Malcolm sticks around the office to wait

17:12

for an answer. I wander along the waterfront.

17:15

Steve! I turn around. Elena

17:18

is waving to me from the deck of one of the

17:20

boats tied up at the whirl. Turn the bell on. Okay,

17:23

Elena. Hey!

17:26

Nice boat you've got here.

17:29

Hey, foodies. Hey, around? No,

17:31

he's in town. I'm so glad

17:33

to see you, Steve. I've been shaken over

17:35

that murder. He let me pour you a

17:37

drink. A pitcher of iced water?

17:41

Mappin. You are

17:43

shaken. Let's talk our pleasant

17:45

first thing. Here

17:49

is your drink. Thanks. To

17:52

Raspet? Why not?

17:56

That's a nice perfume you're

17:58

wearing. Tous j'amois. always

18:01

me. That's a thought. I'm

18:04

leaving tonight, Steve. Oh, yes, it seems I'll leave

18:06

at the wrong time. Yeah.

18:09

Unless maybe you don't want me to

18:11

leave. What about Rudy? Rudy

18:14

bores me. All he wants to do is

18:16

poke around from one little island to another.

18:18

Looking at plantations, huh? You said

18:20

you were shoving off tonight. Are you going

18:22

on to some more islands around here? Yes.

18:27

Steve, if you don't want me to go... Ah,

18:29

quite a coincidence, Elena. What is? The reason

18:31

I came down here to the waterfront was

18:34

to hire a skipper to take me around

18:36

to some of the islands, so I could

18:38

look at some plantations. Steve, why don't you

18:40

come with us? Do you think it'd be

18:42

all right with Rudy? Ah, we'll see that

18:44

it is. Please, Steve, you come with us.

18:47

Oh, okay, Elena. Sounds

18:49

like a good idea. I'm glad you thought of it.

18:55

Yeah,

18:59

right now the deal's working just the way I

19:01

want it. If Schuster's involved, I want to stay

19:04

close to him. And it looks like my best

19:06

chance of doing that is Elena. I'll go back

19:08

to the hotel, pick up my gear, and head

19:10

for the Port Authority office. Malcolm's waiting for me

19:12

outside. He got a

19:14

reply from my boss, eh? Let's have it. They

19:16

gave the plantation owner, Joseph Smith, a clean bill

19:19

of health. How about Schuster? Not so clean. He's

19:21

a former Nazi naval officer who was attached

19:23

to the Imperial Japanese Navy during the war.

19:25

Oh, wow. Two months ago

19:28

inside Ghana, he was acquitted of murder on

19:30

insufficient evidence. Who's murdered? A

19:33

former Japanese submarine officer. Very

19:35

interesting. Yes, but how does it

19:37

tie in? Well, we're

19:39

investigating sabotage of anti-submarine bases. Schuster

19:42

was involved with a Japanese submarine

19:44

officer. There's got to be a

19:46

tie-in somewhere. Well, I

19:48

ought to be finding out soon. How's that?

19:51

I'm going island-hopping with Schuster and Elena, and

19:53

they're both. She thinks it was her idea.

19:55

Oh, I see. That could be dangerous. It

19:57

could also put me close to an answer.

20:00

the thing you've got to be careful yeah I what's

20:03

the matter well it's like

20:05

you can quit worrying look out

20:07

there near the end of the wharf I

20:10

don't see anything that's the point they've gone

20:12

choose to vote yeah when Elena

20:14

told him I was going he must have

20:16

decided it was time to clear out they

20:19

can't have been going along can you arrange

20:21

a boat from the port authority come on

20:32

inside the breakwater we spot Schuster's boat on

20:34

the horizon it's dark by now we tail

20:36

into the vicinity of a small island and

20:39

lose them we circle the island this island

20:41

is one that your government was planning a

20:43

base on Steve they should have been working

20:45

here by now but the sabotage has slowed

20:48

things up wonder what she was through a

20:51

older see that little flare of light

20:53

near the top of the island well

20:56

let's go sure and have a look we

20:58

move in closer at the engines

21:01

ripped ashore work our

21:03

way through the underbrush towards the place where I spotted

21:05

the light it's a big rocky hill rising up in

21:07

the center of the island we start

21:09

climbing halfway up an alleged that's hidden until

21:11

you get right to it we find what

21:13

we're looking for the

21:17

mounds of a cave busted

21:20

kerosene lantern that's what caused that's where our light

21:22

here's the sand they threw on it to

21:24

put it out right of the tank this hello

21:28

Rudy keep your

21:30

hands inside both

21:33

of you my man hands

21:35

here who clumsily knocks over the lantern as

21:37

you see we both have guns and he

21:39

is eager to make up for his stupidity

21:41

don't tell me it didn't bring a lino

21:43

along I left her in port the silly

21:45

girl knows nothing of this so you're the

21:48

one behind a sabotage you fair slowing us

21:50

down because you wanted time to find something

21:52

that was on this island right lie something

21:54

maybe in this cave did

21:56

you find out about it from the Japanese officer whose

21:58

murder you got away with in Saigon. You

22:02

don't miss a trek, Michel? Yes,

22:04

I'd known about it for some time, but

22:06

Nakata was the only one who knew its

22:08

location. Took me quite a while to catch

22:10

up with him. I tend to work

22:12

my way here gradually, so it's not

22:14

a real suspicion. What is it? Gold

22:17

and silver, Michel. Taken

22:20

from Java by a Japanese submarine in the

22:22

early part of the world. I've

22:24

been here in this cave half a million

22:26

dollars, sir. Nice haul. And

22:29

the two of you will help Hans and myself

22:31

carry it down to the boat. Then what? Then?

22:35

Let us say that you will be come

22:37

so attached to this cave you will never

22:39

leave. Hans, tell

22:42

them where I locate the gold inside the cave.

22:44

Yes. Just a minute, sister.

22:47

What is it? You seem to have figured

22:49

out most of the angles. Could be there's

22:51

one you've overlooked. What is that? You haven't

22:53

been inside the cave yet. That

22:55

Japanese officer you killed might still have

22:58

the last laugh on you. Maybe he

23:00

booby-trapped the gold. Booby-trapped? Don't listen to

23:02

him, Hans. He's just stalling. Am I?

23:04

Booby-traps have been rigged before. Very

23:07

well, Michel. I tell you what.

23:10

I will give you the honor of

23:12

going into the cave first. You

23:15

can then find out for yourself. Okay,

23:17

sister. I'll go first. Wait!

23:20

He realizes his mistake too late. I dive into

23:22

the cave to one side. The

23:24

shots go wild. He pounds in after me. I move

23:27

fast in the dark, start a white circle to get

23:29

back to the entrance. I can hear him stumbling along

23:31

behind me. I keep circling. I'm almost back to the

23:33

entrance now. Then I realize I'm

23:35

silhouetted in the moonlight. Michel! Say

23:38

where you are! Uncooked. He takes a couple of side

23:40

steps for a better shot. Then the

23:44

explosion sends me sprawling out of the cave.

23:47

See? You okay? Yeah. Hey,

23:50

what about Hans? He took his eyes off

23:52

me at the explosion. I clipped him. What

23:54

happened inside? Sister must have tripped the wire

23:56

that set off the booby-trap. Oh, brother. And

23:59

me charging around. there in the dark. Yes,

24:01

well I'm sure the gold wasn't damaged much.

24:03

We'll contact the authorities in Java about it,

24:05

but just one little question, old boy.

24:08

How do you know about the booby trap? Just

24:10

one little answer, old boy. I didn't. You what?

24:13

Whoa, whoa, whoa, remind me never to play poker

24:15

with you. Well, I

24:17

expect you'll want to be getting back to court. Schuster

24:20

said that Elena is still there. Elena,

24:22

are you kidding? I just barely escaped

24:25

from one booby trap. I'm gonna quit

24:27

while I'm still ahead. Oh. Our

24:42

24:44

28:52

here tomorrow for Mr. Chameleon Where.

28:55

How do you do, Mrs. Mayhew? I'm Chameleon at

28:58

Central Police Headquarters. You've seen

29:00

your husband's body? Yes, it's horrible.

29:03

I agree. You

29:05

seem very composed. You have a sharp

29:07

eye, Mr. Chameleon. As sharp as my husband's.

29:10

I won't lie to you. Francis and

29:12

I had been estranged for years. Why?

29:16

Remember, Mrs. Mayhew, your husband was murdered.

29:18

Now I must ask a great many questions

29:20

that you won't like. Why

29:23

were you and your husband estranged? Other

29:25

women, mostly. I

29:28

understand that he had a mysterious appointment here in

29:30

his studio at three o'clock. Did

29:32

you believe Mrs. Mayhew that some girl was

29:34

involved? Yes, Mr. Chameleon. And it seemed

29:36

so hideous after what happened to

29:38

Joyce Arnold. Joyce Arnold? Wait

29:41

a minute. Wasn't she

29:43

the beautiful model who killed herself a few weeks ago?

29:46

When my husband was through with her. Yes, that's right. I

29:48

hope you'll be with us
