Well, now it's time for another episode of Dangerous Assignment. The original
air at eight December tenth, nineteen fifty two, and the title as Riot
Dangerous Assignment transcribes Darring, Brian dun Laveez, 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 that this assignment's going to show
me that sometimes the best thing that can happen to a guy is to get
caught in the middle of a riot. A morning, Commissioner, you sent
for me, Steve, it looks like we're caught in the middle of another
first class frame up. Oh great, what and where is it? This
time? Last night a band of Austrian slipped across the border into Hungary at
at point I'm thirty miles southeast of Vienna. The attack gods at a strategic
mind on the lease of the Hungarian government on commissioning. The attacking party went
on a rampage of looting and burning. Six Hungarian guards were killed. How
do we fit in the picture? The attacking lors reported will have been twenty
in number, left three of its members at the scene dead. So the
so called dead Austrians have been identified as American soldier. That's right, Gi
is attached to our forces in Vienna. The situation is tense, going worse
every minute cooperating with the army in this matter. So when you get to
Vienna, check with intelligence. Right, Obviously we had nothing to do with
this raid, Steve. But we've got to prove that and do it quickly.
And I said, you've got your assignment. Good luck. The National
Broadcasting Company is presenting Dangerous Assignment, starring Brian don Levy in the role of
Steve Mitchell, colorful two fisted government agent. At all those places of the
world where danger and intrigue walk hand in hand, there you will find Steve
Mitchell on another dangerous assignment. As Christmas draws near, the airway filled with

get over to Pienna. Find out who rigged up the plot to implicate us
in a border rate on a Hungarian mina free for all, resulting in the
deaths and half a dozen Hungarians and three American soldiers. It's early Wednesday evening
when my plane sets down. Twenty minutes later, I'm in conference with Major
Laken, United States Intelligence. He're the service records of the three gi Steve.
We're convinced they were kidnapped, murdered, and left the scene of the
skirmish. When were they first reported missing? They weren't, you see,
they were out on a three day pass due to report back to their company
tomorrow. Excuse me, ah, good, good sentiment, Corporal. Well
that's relief, and it may be the break we've been waiting for. Steve
or Sergeant Monahan's turned up. I'm alive. He went out on pass with
the others yesterday. Sergeant Monahan reporting, Sir, Edi, Sergeant, this
is mister Mitchell. Mister Mitchell, Sergeant, you heard what happened? Oh
yes, sir. You've known Polson Killer and Whitlow a long time, haven't
you? Since? Uh Palermo the four of you went out on passed yesterday,
right, Yes, sir, where our place called Flankles regular hang out?
Another place? Steve? Then what, Sergeant Well, I had a
bruin left at the last you saw of the others. Yes, sir,
I planned to the half of the rest of the evening. Do you know.
Yeah, they were figuring on going over to a nightclub called a Blue
Flame. Who wanted me to come along? But I had a date the
Blue Flame? Huh any special attraction? Yeah, I got a band that
plays some pretty good box stuff. And well, Sergeant Well, post knew
a girl there. She's a singer Polish. I think her name's Anna.
I thought she was pretty great, didn't you. She was playing him for
a sucker. If he asked me, the last name wouldn't be Cranko.
What is sergeant? Something like that, Sir, couldn't be sure mean anything
to you. Major. Yeah, if it's the same girl, bad customer
Steve clip out his first class and mixed up in black market deals too,
And I see, I think we better have a little chat with us on
a A quarter of an hour later, the Major parks his car in a
dimly lighted side street. I leave him sitting behind the wheel and walk into
the Blue Claim nightclub alone. Joint is really jumping and the cash customers are
living it up. But crazy. I spot her standing over by the bar,
and I pushed my way through the crowd to order. I opened my
wallet, take out the largest bill and slide it across the bar. Oh
careful, my dream. Oh I'm sorry. Yes, I'm very sorry.
We are quite alive. No handa tanzie me here up? Let me buy
you another? Yes? Why not? My money here seems to have become
a little soggy. I'm certain the manager will not mind. I'm too coniac
place. You are an American, you know? Yeah? And down I
visit a little pleasure too. I never thought i'd run into a place like
this deepop in Vienna. Female. Well, back home, they don't call
me crazy for nothing. Oh, my name's Mitchell, and Steve Mitchell.
I am I work here? Do you? What do you know? Say?
Maybe you gonna help me. I'm looking for a buddy of mine served
in the army together during the war. I understand he drops in here quite
often, a soldier. Yeah, his name is Paulson, Dick Paulson.
Maybe you know no, I do not believe I know you. Now you
must excuse me, please, I have to prepare for my next number.
How about your drugs will be? You will be? I wait, Anna,
I watch it. She disappears through a curtain doorway at the far end
of the room. A few minutes later, she's back, wearing a different
evening gown. The lights go down, the band goes into its intro,
and Anna begins to put her into the microphone. I slips through the doorway
and down a long hall where dressing room. I spend the next few minutes
giving the place of fast frisk can come up with nothing except a snapshot of
Anna and another girl, which I slip into my pocket for future reference.
Then I hear someone coming down the hall. I back into a small closet.
You are, my dear. You'll find the money in this envelope county
if you wish. Thank you, darling, Thank you. Anna have been
most helpful. Everything went according to plan, really perfectly. Still a few
matters to be attended to, however, you are going back to Bernaggy.
Yes, demonstation is planned. I must see the certain name for them detailed.
I had a few moments to spare me by drink. Thank you.
I have a drink waiting for me at the bat and an American. I
think you will be interested in him. He came in looking for Sergeant Coson.
Well said he was a bour friend. I see, well, perhaps
he's an a banana, and then again he might not be. I think
I best point this American out to Minna. Come along. I wait till
I hear their footsteps, pade down the hallway, and then I slip outside.
There's a door at the far end of the corridor and it's open.
I ease out into the alley, circle around to the front of the cafe
and watch from the shadows. I don't have long to wait. The gent
called Rudy comes out, steps into a long black limousine. It's this show
for the NOD the car roarers away. I go down the block to where
the major is waiting. What's up, Steve. I just had a peek
at a payoff and a crenco. Yeah, for services rendered. It's got
something to do with Sergeant Polsen, that's for sure. I heard Rudy tell
on her he was going to a place called Bernagi. Bernagi. Well,
that's a town just over the border. In Hungary. It's only a few
miles from the mine. He said something about a big demonstration shore short figures,
the big build up, beating of the drums, torchlight parade, the
works. All very anti United States. Of course, Buck Major, I'd
like to take in that little sarre across the border. Can you arrange it?
Sure? I can put you in contact with someone. Meanwhile, what
about Anna keep an eye on her so we can close in fast. We
know she's the contact on this end of the line. I've got to nail
a big boy at the other end. It's almost ten o'clock when I wheeled
the Major's car into a small hillside village overlooking the Austro Hungarian border. A
few minutes later, I pull up at a small shop and start massaging the
front door with my knuckles. Please, my shop is closed. Did is
late? My name is Mitchell, Steve Mitchell. So your good stuff?
So Major Lake and get in touch with you, so come in quickly.
Yeah, Mitchell, this which you proposed to do is suicide. The border
is heavily patrolled since the affair of the mine. When can I start?
Major warned me it would be impossible to convince you all right, we must
lead at once. It will be best if we are not seen together in
the village. Okay, where do we meet? You will walk down the
street two blocks turn let I mean you reach the railroad tracks, turn right
and follow the river until you reach a barn. We will meet there ten
minutes later. I pull up in the shadows of the barn, look out
over the river, where on the other side is Hungry and just over the
hill on my left, as a red glow in the sky, that would
be the town where the big demonstration is being staged. I glance at my
watch. Then I hear a twig snap behind me. I start to turn
around, but I'm not fast enough. Something hard catches me on the side
of the head. I pitch forward, fall face down into the weeds.
Steve Mitchell will continue his dangerous assignment in just a moment. You remember that
old saying A stitch in time saves nine Well, Unlike a lot of old
proverbs, this one really works whether you are applied to a chair with loose
rungs or your health. Suppose you learned that a few dollars spent now could
be that stitch in time that might save your health or the health of your
family in the year to come. Sound like a good proposition, Well,
here's how it's done, just by Christmas Seals. This Christmas Yes, the
money we spend for Christmas Seals now goes for case finding, health education,
medical research and rehabilitation to help fight tuberculosis during the next year. Christmas Seal
money spent now helps protect us all from the number one killer among infectious diseases,
TB. It's the stitch in time that saves human lives and health,
prevents economic chaos and broken homes which often follow in the wake of TV.
Don't say it couldn't happen to you, but you take out little insurance against
it. Save lives and prevent misery your own and your neighbors when you buy
Christmas Seals. Now back to Dangerous Assignment and Brian don leave as Steve Mitchell
he met it good stuff. Say what am I doing in the river?
We are almost a curse? Yeah, yeah, I kill catch bottom.
I arrived in time to see two men shove you into the river. I
waited until they had gone, Then I came in after you help you across.
Thanks. One of them was wearing a Showfar's uniform, Rudy and this
driver probably there. We go from here, Gustaf, Bernaggi's but if you're
killing it from here come We climb this bank across the road which runs along
the top down the other side of the incline. Then we still stick to
the fields and wooded places. As we look up on the road over there
left a patrol. Yeah, come on, we've got to get across that
rowing. We make it the cover. Okay. We walk our way through
the weeds and underbrush to a nearby forest and shake the patrol off our trail.
Twenty minutes later, where i'm outskirts of Bernagie. Gustav takes me to
an underground station and we get dry clothes. Then we head for the square
in the center of town. A demonstration is going forward. The seven Eye
blend in with the milling crowd. There's a speaker's platform in the center and
on its six people the wives of the dead, mind guards. My eyes
run along the road and then suddenly I do it. Take what is it?
That woman on the end, all right, exact it? Yeah,
she takes good pictures too. Look this photo Anna and that girl, where
did you get this? And Anna's dressing room. See in this, babe,
must be pals. We've got ourselves another lead. Good stuff. Look
she's leaving the platform. Yeah, quite an act. She's putting on a
grief stricken the widow. Hey the guy who's leading her away, Yes,
he's wearing a schopper's uniform. Yeah, Rudy's driver. We work our way
through the crowd after them. The driver takes the girl over to Rudy's car
park at one corner of the square. Rudy's inside. We managed to get
close enough to hear him give an address to the driver. It's not far
so we leg it over there. The widow seems to have made a fast
recovery from her sorrow. She and Rudy are drinking champagne. After a couple
of minutes, he leaves and the chauffeur drives them away. I pull open
the French windows and we go in. Who are you? Never mind?
Right now? I want you to start talking about your friends, Rudy and
Anna. I don't know what you're talking about. Save it. You're up
to your ears in a very nasty frame up, and you'd better start spilling
fast. Don't prove any of you. Oh are you. I realize the
questions your identification quickly. Hey you are Busty, the United States agent.
What were you expecting? Oh? Please? I am sorry, mister Mitchell.
Hey, what is this? I am Jan Tresina, brother of the
dead men who are supposed to be married to this woman. Oh he wasn't
really eh no, And he also was not a guard at the mine.
He was actually a prisoner from a check concentration game. Keep talking. This
is good, more interesting by the moment. And he was brought here to
Benagi to work in the mine with some other prisoners. I followed, hoping
to help them escape. I had a plan worked out, but the night
before last, six of them were taken secretly from the mine. Sure they
were the six guys who were killed and later passed off as Hungarian guards.
It's the oldest trick in the world. Hitter used it to create one of
the incidents that touched off the last war. Right, it's beginning to add
up fast. The dead Check prisoners were passed off as Hungarian guards and the
dead American soldiers as Austrian raiders. Nice little deal you're wrapped up in,
sister. Please, I only did what I was told to I did not
know what was happening. You were hired to pose as a dead guard's wife.
Yes, who hired you? He also had my sister Anna to take
one of the American soldiers to her place, but neither of us knew they
would be killed. Please you must believe me. Is this rudy? He
operates the mind on at least from the government, and he's the gent behind
the deal. Uh yes, Please get me across the border and I would
be a witness. I think we're going to arrange that second at the underground
station and wait for me. Go stuff all right, come, yeah,
we'd be sitting pretty if we had any proof of all this, But without
it, we've got nothing. I know. It beats me how those prisoners
can be a race like that with no questions asked. Who used to ask
the questions? The prisoners are very expendable. The records are sent back to
they came from which they came simply marked deceased. That is the end of
it. No questions asked. No one asks questions because everyone is a three.
Wait a minute, there are records record, sure, if we could
get our hands on them, we could bust this thing wide open. Those
records must have finger prints, photos, and the works. That would be
proof that these dead guys weren't as advertised. Wait, you think the records
could still be in the mine office. It's possible. Could be. They'd
hold them for a while until this thing blows over before they send them back.
You said you had a plan worked out to get your brother out of
the mind compoun Could we use it to get in? Yes, yes,
I believe we could. You see the shift changes at midnight. At that
moment, two grenades were to demolish the south fence. The prisoners were to
make a break for it. Yeah, during the confusion, we could probably
sneak in. All right, there's just one hit stuff. Where do we
get the grenades? Will these nothing like being prepared? Jan, Yeah,
he'll do fine. We climb the hills outside of town until we get to
a spout overlooking the mine. There's a barguire fence, search lights guards the
works. In the center of the compound is a small office building. At
midnight, the shift changes. Now Michu Canon forks both grenades and lobs them
down beside the fence. A hole in the pit. Come on, the
prisoners are milling around fighting with the guards. We slipped through the hole and
defense unnoticed and heads for the office. Then a reception committee steps out from
behind the door. All this both of you. Well, my old friend
Rudy, judging from those records in your hands, you must have had the
same idea we did. When I realized you were still alive, that curt
to me. You might try to get the records of the sixth prisoners.
I thought I had better removed in You had six prisoners and three US soldiers
killed in cold blood, the stage this little incident of yours. Oh,
he did not start out as an incident. You see my record, shields
of mine with not stand inspect You mean you had your payroll padded quite their
bit, unafraid, I think I get it. You stage a raid which
results in killing a few guards, and that clears up the padded payroll.
And then it occurred to me I had created something of greater value than I
imagine. Yeah, you manufacture an incident, sell it to your government.
Got all the angles figured huh ruddy, Yes, including what I will do
with you two. Oh you are trespassers. Need I say more? No?
I get the message. The window it out yeah, get back,
Mitchill the gun the goat. Thanks, Ruddy, you took your eyes off
me just long enough, and thanks for these records, fair enough to blow
this frame sky high. You've heard my gods outside it mapping up. You
will never leave this place alive your own, Rudy. Look out the window.
Ah, it looks like the prisoners have the upper hand. They've overpowered
the guards. Before any reinforcements arrive, Mitchell will have ample opportunity to get
back to gustav and across the border. Those Christmas out there, they're not
trying to escape, they're just standing there, standing at the window. Could
be they'd like to have a little talk with you about the six you killed.
Rudy. No, no, Mitchell, you you must protect me me.
You kidding, I'm just a trespasser, remember then, take me with
you now now, okay, I'm going to the underground headquarters. I'm sure
they'd be happy to see you, Hunchacount. Looks like you lose either way,
Rudy. You tried to play both sides against each other and you wound
up right smack in the middle. Come on, jan let's get out of
here. Our star Brian Don Levy will return in just a moment. Thursday
evening on NBC always brings you enjoyable radio entertainment by some of America's favorite performers.
Robert Young stars as Jim Anderson in the family comedy entitled Father Knows Best.
Roy Rogers and Dale Evan's team up to present Western songs and adventure.
On the Roy Rogers Show, Eddie Canter takes the top off his memory box
and presents his show business show with stories and music to relive the many wonderful
years he has spent entertaining young and from coast to coast. And then Judy
Canova sends radio listening your Way from Cactus Junction for thirty funfilled minutes, and
Ralph Edwards plays host to contestants from the studio audience on Truth or Consequences.
So for the very best listening each and every Thursday night, be sure to
set your radio dial to this NBC station where you will hear these pleasurable programs.
Remember Thursday brings the Roy Rogers Show, Father Knows Best, Truth or
Consequences, Eddie Canter's show Business Show, and the Judy Canova Show over most
NBC stations next week Turkey a booby trap and I'm the booby and that will
be Steve Mitchell's dangerous assignment next week. Included in tonight's cast were Paul Dubov,
Bob O'Connor, bvb Janis, Paul Freese, and Geny Tatum. This
is John Storm Speaking Dangerous Assignments, starring Brian don Levy as Steve Mitchell,
with Herb Butterfield as the Commissioner. Is written by Bob Bryce and Adrian John
Doe and is directed by Bill carn Be with us again next week at this
time when Brian don Levy, starring in the role of Steve Mitchell, will
embark on another transcribed dangerous assignment. Always listen for the familiar three NBC chimes,
your invitation to find radio entertainment Tomorrow Here both Father Knows Best and Truth
or Consequences on NBC Welcome Back. We've talked before about why Vienna is such
an inviting place for these stories to be set in the nineteen fifties, but
it's worth mentioning again because it's a combination of both Vienna's status being unsettled for
so long after the war, with a continuing occupation by the Great Powers,
as well as its proximity to contraries behind the iron curtains such as Hungary.
Overall, I thought this was an exciting adventure, although having one character continuing
to wear a chauffeur's uniform everywhere, it's kind of an odd choice as out
of its contacts, that clothing choice really does stand to stick out well.
Listener comments and feedback. Now, and we start with an email from Derek,
who writes, Adam, I made the mistake of watching an episode of
Dangerous Assignment the TV show. I'd had my mind made up as to what
Steve Mitchell looked like, his age and his strange and dangerous places he visited.
The radio can make the mind conjure up images that put on screen would
cost millions of dollars. I know the TV show did as well as they
could with the budget but that they had, But some things are better left
to the imagination. Love the show and happy Thanksgiving and upcoming Christmas. Well,
thank you so much appreciate the comment, Derek. Now, as to
Dangerous Assign the TV show, I will say that budget was such a big
part of the problem with that TV show with the Dangerous Assignment, as a
radio program. It evoked the idea of exotic foreign locales and perilous situations requiring
dangerous, daring new and the TV series was one that was actually produced by
Brian Dawn Levy and on a limited budget in nineteen fifty one. In the
very early days of television, so often things were not well realized. Like
there was a TV episode that I saw where the scene was supposed to be
a street in Egypt, but honestly, it looked like they were borrowing a
set from the Adventures of Super television series. It had that exact same,
very generic look and feel to it, although they did have some sets that
were better than that. But there were a lot of very American looking exotic
locales, and there were stunts that they just couldn't afford to do. My
favorite example of this is that in the radio version of a script, Steve
is held at gunpoint while he's driving a car by a woman who is going
to kill him, and so he forces the car off the road and they
crash and he survives and is able to disarm her because he is willing to
crash the car. On the television version, they really didn't have the budget
for that. And to be fair, they had sent a car off the
road in another episode, so it's not like they couldn't afford any car crashes,
but they couldn't afford all the car crashes. Oh, Instead, they
are in a room and Steve disarms her by throwing a throw pillow at the
gun hand. And there are some odd casting choices that I would not imagine.
For example, in one episode, a guy sends a guard back with
Steve to escort him to a neutral location to keep him safe. The guard
doesn't have a line so is unseen and then is killed. I imagine the
guard as like this big, beefy, husky guy. In the television version
of that script, they cast a guy who was probably only in his early
fifties but looked really feeble. He looked like about seventy. And I'm like,
what was the thought process behind this casting? Now, in terms of
Steve Mitchell himself to me, and again, your mileage may vary, but
actually I think Steve Mitchell is fine. He's as I imagined him. Now
I have to admit that I had seen TV episodes of Dangerous Assignment. I
think I might have actually seen a full television episode before I ever listened to
a radio episode by some coincidence, but certainly people who were the original listeners
to the radio program do what Brian don Levy looked like, because he was
a fairly famous movie star, and that seemed to be the tactic of NBC
in the late forties and early fifties as they began their private detective mystery programs
with leeds who were known to listeners from film, whether it was Frank Lovejoy
or Dick Powell. So most of the original radio listeners would have a pretty
darn accurate image of Brian don Levy in their heads. Now, is it
a mistake to watch the Dangerous Assignment TV show? I don't think so,
but I do think it is a choice. There are two approaches and it
comes to radio programs and enjoying them. The first is I want to imagine
things how I want to imagine them. I want to create the images in
my own mind without any influences. And then there's the approach of I want
to put a face to the name, and I think both are valid.
You just have to recognize if you're putting a face to the name, it's
going to influence in most likely how you're able to imagine things. I've even
had that happen. On those few occasions where I've made videos or I've met
someone in person, I've had people say that I'm not as they imagine,
and I kind of feel a little bit like I'm disillusioning them. But I
think it's a situation where if you just want to own imagination paint the picture,
then don't think out the visual element. I will also say that I
do find TV episodes based on old time radio programs to be really interesting viewing,
as I think the adaptation choices are interesting, even if they sometimes go
sideways, And despite the issues I have with the budget, I do think
that there are some of the Dangerous Assignment episodes on television that are at least
as good as the radio version. The only one that I can think of
that was better was the TV episode The Salami Story. The radio version of
that episode began with Steve getting a briefing from the commissioner and then going up
to Canada, and then something happens in Canada and he gets sent over to
Europe and the body of the adventure occurs on a train. TV version actually
begins with the train and with Steve writing in a car to catch the train.
The reason for that was that they couldn't afford all of that hopping around
and they needed to get to the point. And they got to the point,
and I think the story was actually better for it. Adaptations from radio
to television really are a bit of a mixed bag in terms of quality.
I think Dragnet might do the best job of transitioning scripts from radio to television,
although by nineteen fifty fifty one, Jack Webb had in mind bringing Dragnet
to television, and I think a lot of the scripts were written in with
that in mind. The scripts that tended to have more trouble making the transition
from radio to television tended to be those scripts that had an element that worked
really fine for radio but made for poor television viewing. I think about episodes
like The Big Bar, the Big Producer, and the Big Phone Call.
I find it really interesting, but it also gives me kind of a different
perspective because there are people who think that it would have been great if their
favorite radio programs were turned into TV shows, and those radio programs that made
the transition show that it wasn't always that easy. It's a very different medium.
I know there are folks who wish that, like yours truly, Johnny
Doller, had made it to TV, but I don't think that television in
the nineteen fifties could have done that series justice. What made Dragnets transition relatively
is that I think that while it was very well executed, it was a
pretty simple show. Concept wise, was set in Los Angeles and filmed in
Los Angeles. Much of it could just easily be done on sets or shot
on location depending on what was called for dangerous assignment, yours truly, Johnny
Doller, These were much more complicated ideas, requiring much more complicated location work.
Plus the standard expectation for television series were to turn out thirty nine episodes
per year, and that's a tough ask when you are doing all of this
location work. And whatever critiques we have of dangerous assignment, they did the
best they could with the limitations that were placed in trying to produce thirty nine
episodes. Thanks so much for the comment. Now we turn to a couple
of comments from our listener survey and we have two separate unsigned comments. First
up, this show is a welcome retreat from the Vicissitudes of Life Excelsior,

Where understand that mister Willoughby, a shot was heard from this room by
nearly everybody at this party here, that's right, mister Camelion. And then
you rushed out of the room with this gun in your hand. Whose gun
is it? Where did you get it? And why did you have it
in your hand? All right? I just tat it there, I suppose
Why did you kill this man? And who is it? He's count Edward
Lano, count Edward Leno, Larry, how terrible Edward. Just get out
of this room, Barbara. I'll take care of this. I'd rather have
you stay, Miss Barbara. You are lad. Yes, he's my sister.
Mister Camelion, Barbara, please leave. What was your connection with Count
Lena, Miss Barbara? I thought I was going to marry him, but
something came up. What came up? He was a no good rutterer,
mister Chamelion. I warned Barbara against him. I'm questioning Barbara, mister Willoughby.
Now I asked you, Miss Barbara, and what was the something you
say came up between you and the dead man? Mister Comelion. You can
accuse me of murder, arrest me, have me convicted of murder, but
I won't tell you what came up between Coad Lawn and me. Rather,
I hope you'll be with us then. In the meantime, do send your
