Well, now it is time for this week's episode of Dangerous Assignment.
The original aired eight October the twenty second, nineteen fifty two, and the
title is The Butterfly Chasers Dangerous Assignment Trumscribe starring Brown von Laville 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 wind up with my getting shot at morning. Commissioner, you
sent for me, Steve, I want you to drop in on a group
of butterfly chaser I think the word is lepidopterists, but I wouldn't bet on
it. Go to the head of the class. At the moment, they're
somewhere in the jungles of Brazil, south of the Amazon. Now when I
say I want you to drop in on them, you mean just that?
Uh I parachute? Okay, Commissioner, what's it all about? Recently,
Steve, there was a meeting in Rio between you West representatives and diplomats from
several Latin American countries. Important decisions will reach, commitments made, and agreement
signed. A copy of that agreement was dispatched in the United States by courier,
but had never arrived in Washington. The plane in which the courier was
riding crashed in a remote area of the Brazilian coast. All hands lost.
Yes, our investigators checked the region, but can learn little from either the
natives or the group of butterfly people who happened to be in the area at
the time. So we assumed that the courier and the document has been lost.
We were wrong. See, we've just learned from contacts in Brazil that
the document has been put up for sale at the city of the lemb And
here's the joke of Steve, delivery guaranteed as of the first of next month.
What does that suggest to you? The document is on its way there,
and hey, wait a minute, the butterfly chaser, right, They're
scheduled to arrive in the limb just about that time. My hunch is that
someone in that group has the document. Get down there, Steve. It's
vitally important we recover that document. Well, I said, you've got your
assignment. Good luck. The National Broadcasting Company is presenting Dangerous Assignment, starring
Brian don Levy and 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. Before we bring
you Tonight's dangerous assignment adventure, let me tell you about tomorrow's fine comedy on
the NBC Radio Network. Yes, Tomorrow you will hear the Bob Hope Show,
and Fiber McGhee and Molly and Eddie Cantor will bring you his show business
show. There's always entertainment when Fibber and Molly open wide the doors at seventy
nine Wistful Vista And tomorrow from Palm Springs, California, Bob Hope will have
Bing Crosby, Marilyn Maxwell and Charlie Ferrell as his special guests, and Eddie
Canter's Show Business Show will present a program of Italian entertainers Bob Hope, Liver
McGee and Molly Eddie Camper. Yes here all three tomorrow on NBC. Sure
I've got my assignment cat down to South America. Catchup to a group of
waterfly chasers somewhere in the jungle of Brazil and find out which member of the
party is carrying a highly confidential document belonging to the United States. It's a
hunka political dynamite, and we want it back before it's sold to the highest
bidder. It's early Friday evening when my plane lands in Belm, Captain Arcata,
the local law hustles me into another plane, and a few minutes later
we're airborne, heading west over the jungle. Manual contact when you reach your
destination center. Mitchell is Sagan Romero. I send him out to pick up
the trailer of the group two days ago. Where are they now, Captain?
The last radio report I received from Romero a few hours before your arrival
at the group camped at this point on the map almost direct me under us.
You mean we're there already? We are come, I would assist you.
Yeah, there's this little matter is slipping into a parachute full number one,
Captain, when about to make a parachute jump. Don't forget the parachute.
Eh, here we are in your Hey, there's a bright moon that
will help. I just assume it wasn't so bright, cap'n It too easy
for someone on the ground to spot the parachute, see, of course,
which means I'll have to drop a long way down as far as I dare
before I open the chute. Uh. The pilot is motioning classignor okay,
what's their altitude? The instructions worth five thousand feet right, no circling.
We don't want to attract too much attention. See one pass over the area.
I bail out and see okay, cap'n open her up. It doesn't
take long to eat up five thousand feet of space, especially when you drop
most of the way where the shoot flows. When my counferences out, I
pull it forward, then a jarring choke if the shoe opens by slowly down
straight toward the river. I an the shrouds to change direction, so I
miss the river, but my land on the top branches of a tree.
Next thing I know, I'm dangling at the end of the shoots. I'm
fifteen feet above the ground. That's when it happens. First, this has
passed my ear. Thanks one chipsy hunk a tree trunk. This is no
place for me. I unfastened the harness and drop the ground, start crawling
on my hands and knees toward the river, and then suddenly I freeze.
Someone's coming up on the double. I wait. Then as he goes by,
I reach out and grab Thanks, hold the butter. Take god gun.
No wait, wait, wait, wait, you are the American Mitchell.
Yeah, big surprise, No, no, no, saying you're I
am Sergeant Romero, the Captain Toling from Marrow. You. Yes, of
course, I'll show you my identification here. I have it in my pocket.
I'll reach for it if you don't mind it says you're sergeant from Arrow.
All right, from there, get down the shot. It came from
dead directions. You're from the river. Yeah. You see someone now he's
probably cut back into the jungle. See see how far are they camp from
here? Several miles down the river near a small dinage. Comes to you.
I have a boat here nearby. It is not far from here,
Senor Mitchell, just around the bend. How many a mother in camp?
In the row? There are four? The leader wow with Gray. Here
is doctor Stanho and there are two assistance. One is called Auges and others
Williams and head. There's the doctor's wife wife. See very young, very
beautiful saire. Ah. There is the clearing near the river bank. Yeah,
it looks like someone sitting at a campfire alone. I think that it.
See that is doctor Stample. Let's pull in the shore here, man,
you better stay right to your other site for the time being. Stick
to the boat and keep your eyes open. I'll be back. See hello
there, Hello, Hello, good evening. Welcome. This is the Stanhope
camp. By any chance, has that's right? Natives up the river mentioned
that you were in the region. My name is Mitchell. Oh, I'm
doctor Stanhope. How do you do? Sit down, don't you? Thanks?
Don't find as I do. Had a hard journey. Yeah, you'd
think after being in this jungle for over a month, I'd get used to
these hikes. But hello on a holiday are yeah, well sort of.
I'm soaking up some local color doing a book. Ah. Really, I
envie you. I always wanted to ride, but never seem to find the
time. My work and the work what sort of research butterfly chases call it?
Or traveling alone? Mister Mitchell. No, my camp's not very far
away, going to be in the region for a while, it depends.
Ah, that's my wife. Hello, darling, have a nice stroll.
Yes, you're very nice. Sweet. This is mister Mitchell. How do
you do, senor missus Stanhope. Mister Mitchell's a writer, soaking up a
little local color, As he puts it the writer. How interesting. By
the way, darling, have you seen anything of Hodges Hodges? No,
Well, I thought he might possibly be in the village. Well I didn't
go to the village. Haven't seen him for hours. Wonder what's happened to
him. He's probably with Williams. No Jim came back to camp a few
minutes ago and went out looking for it. Well, don't worry, darling,
he'll turn up now if you don't mind. I think I'll go to
my ten. And I'm rather tired, of course, my DearS. Good
night, Senior Mitchell, Good night Miss Stanhope. Well, doctor, I
think I'll be moving along too. Oh must you really? I thought we
might chat a little. There have plenty of time for that in the morning,
that is, unless you'll be pulling out. Yes, we had planned
on leaving early. Might join forces with you tag along if you don't mind.
I'm headed for balm You we're also headed that way, mister Mitchell.
Of course you're welcome to join us. However we sort of poke along.
You know. We're in no hurry, and neither my doctor. I'm in
no hurry at all. Night Romeo Romero, Well i've met fifty percent of
the troop. Doctor and his wife Williams wasn't around, and Hoidges hasn't been
seen for hours. I don't like that Romero Hodges could have taken up power.
You're not think so, Senor. Look on the river bank. Hey,
I pulled a body out of the river a few minutes ago. That
is the man called Hodges. In just a moment, Steve Mitchell will continue
his dangerous assignment. We now bring you an important announcement for all Americans,
particularly those of you who run your own business or are in a position to
hire employees. This country is now engaged in a gigantic defense program which must
be kept on schedule. There's no time to lose. To win, We've
got to use every ounce of strength industrial strength in this contest to protect ourselves
and the free world. That means we've got to give jobs, productive jobs
to all Americans. We've got to hire the handicapped. Thousands of handicapped persons,
veterans and non veterans alike, are ready willing and able to work.
Thousands of others have proved on the job that when they're properly placed, they
do everybody as good a job as they're able bodied fellow workers. So,
mister employer, give these folks a chance to help you increase your productive capacity.
Hire the handicapped, help them help your business. Help America. And
now back to dangerous Assignment and Brian don Levy as Steve Mitchell. You're sure
this dead guy is Hodges? Remember Oh, his papers were in his puppet.
He was struck on the head. Eh So one of doctors Stanhope's assistants
gets himself knocked off. I wonder if Hodges was the one who was carrying
the document in that case. Whoever killed him now has it? Or maybe
Hodges knew who has it. Let's see, when I was talking to doctor
stan Hope, his wife returned to camp. She said she'd been out for
a walk. She had an opportunity to kill him. Yeah. Also the
other assistant, Williams, who was supposed to be out looking for Fidges,
and he also had opportunity. And there's a doctor Stanhope himself. What do
you mean that left them alone in camp? He could have slipped out here
in the brush and killed IDEs. A right to keep under cover, Romeo.
I'm going over to Stanhope's camp and break the news to them when I
can't, Williams, the other assistant is there. I tell them I've stumbled
across Tiger's body, and they're all properly shocked. We threw back to the
river bank so they can have a look at it. Thing like this is
hard to believe, Mitchell. Pretty good friends of yours, Williams. Yes,
you're the best, dreadful, perfectly dreadful. Poor such a brilliant career
suddenly cut off by a horrible accident like this accident. Of course, you
see, Hodges couldn't swim. He was wandering along those rocks on the river
bank looking for space smooths. Obviously he fell and struck his head and rolled
into the water. Isn't that what you'd make of it, mister Mitchell?
Yeah, yeah, I guess so, Williams. What do you think Dr
Stanhol's right about Hodges not being able to swim? Beyond that, I wouldn't
know. I'm no detective. I suppose there's a problem Hodge's body. You'll
have to be taken to bell m or destination. Somebody should accompany the body.
I suppose it's leader of the group. It should be myself. I
disagree, Doctor Stanhope, quir Williams, what this expedition means a lot to
you? I think you should continue your research. I'll take the body to
Berlin. No, I'm afraid I cantliment you to go, Williams. If
I'm to continue my research, I certainly need your help. All right,
you're the boss. But in that case, perhaps I should go you I'm
not needed here. Well that's a pretty disagreeable job for a woman, missus
stan Hope, and a little dangerous traveling through the jungles like this. Yes,
I quite agree with you, mister Mitchell. Uh if I could make
a suggestion, Oh yes, we all means there's nothing any of you can
do for Hodges. Now why not let the natives take his body in?
M Well, I suppose that would be the practical solution. Yes, I'll
have two bears carry it to the village if you like. I'll stay here
with the body until you send them. Oh, that's very kind of you.
Let me be a few minutes. Come along, my dear, very
well, good night, mister Mitchell, good night, missus stand Hope.
Thanks Mitchell, Sure see you later, William Romero. See my dear Mitchell,
you hear what went on. Indeed, I was getting a little worried
that one of them was going to get away from me. See see what
is your plan? Now? We'll move in closer and keep an eye on
them the rest of the night. After the natives pick up Hodges's body,
Romero and I settle down in the underbrush where we can watch stan Hopes camp.
I take the first while white Romero. At midnight, everything's quiet in
the camp. Their fire has gone out. I doze off. The moon
is setting. When I opened my eyes again, I look at my watch
and realize I've been asleep a couple of hours. I roll over and looked
toward Romero. Then I set up fast. Romero's gone. I scrambled to
my feet and head towards stan Hook's camp, and I get my second surprise.
Camp is dismantled. Everybody's gone. This is just great. I found
along the trail around the bend, and there stretched out on the ground in
front of me as a body Romero. Romero Fromearra. Oh, Mitch,
here, that's what happened. Oh. I heard a noise from the camp,
came to investigate, and somebody slipped up behind me hit me over the
hiss. You couldn't see who it went. Oh no, I've cleared out.
I've got about a two hours start on us. We must have gained
on them substantially by now, Michu. Yeah, we've been traveling at a
pretty good clip all morning. You down. Yeah, we're getting close to
them, all right. What do you tell where that shot came from?
Over there at the left somewhere, I think, can you see anyone?
No underbrush these thicket is not surprising. Whoever it was could be some distance
away by now. Yeah, no, I hold it? What is it?
Flash? A flight? Over there in the far edge of that clearing.
Hey, it's missus Stanhope, ah see walking through the clearing and now
into the underbrush again putting you know, but she's not carrying a gun.
She could have ditched it. She seemed to know where she's going, probably
to their new camp. Come on, we'll follow her. Yeah, there's
their camp, all right, Missus Stanhope and Williams in front of the tent.
I'll introduce you as my guide. I'll fight well, mister Mitchell.
I'm surprised to see me, Missus Stanhope. Why christ this is my guide?
Senior Romerow. Mister Williams Romero, say, how are you? Where's
doctor Stanhope? He's been down by the rever all morning looking for specimen.
Next day, say, were you the ones who were doing the shooting a
few minutes ago? Mitchell? Not exactly, Williams. Why I was working
around when I heard a shot. I decided if a hunter was nearby,
I should get back to camp. Let's see, Well it's mister Mitchell.
That's right, doctor Stanhope. Were you doing any shooting a short while ago,
Philip shooting? Why no, I did hear the shot though? Where
glad to have you with us again, mister Mitchell? Why, of course?
Why you sort of pulled up stakes all of a sudden last night?
Did you forget you've invited me to tag along with you to Bill m by
George? I did forget excitement of Hodge's death and all that you know?
Oh see, when Kara suggested we leave during the night, it was your
idea than missus Stanhope. Oh yes, he bothers me. It's cooler traveling
at night. I see we've planned the rest hear him til dark and then
resume our journey. Would you like to accomplanis this, Yeah, I would,
doctor stan Hope, and this time I'll try to keep up with you.
The afternoon drags on towards sunset. Doctor Stanhope goes into his tent to
rest up for the trip. After dark, Williams is working with a few
butterfly specimens. Missus Stanhope goes down by the river for his smoke. I
tag along to keep an eye on her and leave Romero to watch things at
the camp. She makes small talk for half an hour or so, and
then we wander back. She heads for her husband's tent. I suppose i'd
better write, Philip. It's just about cool enough to start now. I
wonder where Romero is. The camp does look a bit deserted, doesn't it.
I don't see Williams. Are they Philip? Hey there on the ground,
it's Williams. I'm unconscious, Williams. Williams, Oh, oh,
oh, mister Mitchell. But look at my husband's cot. Some blackts rolled
up to look like somebody's lying on it, and the back of the tent
it slip from top to bottom. I don't understand, I think I do,
Williams, Oh, oh, Mitchell, what happened? I came in
here to ask doctor Stanhope something. As soon as I stepped inside, I
got hit in the head, knocked me to my knees. I saw Stanhope
slash the wall of the tent and leave, and I blacked out. Romera
must be chasing him. I'll see you later. I take off from the
back of stan Hope's tent and start crashing through the brush. Then all of
a sudden I stopped something which I noticed on the table and stand Hope's tent
and didn't pay any attention to suddenly registers Stanhope's knife in its sheath. I
doubled back fast. Sure enough, there's another tre leading through the brush in
the opposite direction from stan Hope's tent. I follow it. I can hear
somebody ahead of me. Then the noise stops. I stopped too, but
not soon enough. He's in behind me with a gun. Dub move Mitchell,
Hello Williams. They're a pretty smart boy. How'd you tumble to the
fact that I was lying? You said? Stan Hope slashed the tent,
but I remembered seeing his knife still inside in its sheath. I doubt if
he'd have used it, and then replaced it, he'd have been in too
big a hurry. He staged the whole deal to take me off your trail
and give you a head start. Bright boy, how'd you get stan Hope
out of the way? It was simple. I told him you were missus
Stanhope taking off together. He charged down along the river like a bull,
with Romero after him. Pretty neat Williams, I guess that makes you the
boy with a document. But what about the dead guy, Hodges? Where
deep it in? Well it started out as a two way split. I
decided to change things. I see, okay, Mitchell, we're still a
little too close to the camp. Start walking. I push on a head
of Williams, knowing that as soon as we get far enough away to suit
him, I'm a dead duck. Then I stopped my chance with a branch
of a tree sticking out in front of me. I push it back out
of the way, and then suddenly I ducked with dover it hits him in
the face and sposed his name. Were at lash out with the lip show.
Thanks for the gun. Now just stand still while I find that document.
Yeah, here we are, look at how about a deal? Sorry,
you left all your cards back there on the table with Stanhope's knife.
Our star Brian don Levy will return in just a moment. Let me tell
you about tomorrow's fine comedy on the NBC Radio Network. Yes, tomorrow you
will hear of the Bob Hope Show and film. McGhee and Molly and Eddie
Kenner will bring you his show Business. There's always entertainment when Fiber and Molly
open wide the doors at seven to nine, Wistful Vista and Eddie Canter's show
Business Show will present a program of Italian entertainers Fibber McGee and Molly, Eddie
Canter. Yes, here all tomorrow on NBC. Next week, Havana a
Beautiful place to get killed. That will be Steve Mitchell's Dangerous Assignment next week.
This is NBC the National Broadcasting Company. Welcome back. It's rare than
a show undermines one of its key lines as hard as Dangerous Assignment did in
this episode. But really, if Steve Mitchell can say lepidopterist, is he
really going to struggle to pronounce any of the places that he visits. Other
than that, though, it was a good, solid episode. Well,
now we turn to listener comments and feedback. And Steven Halifax rights. Hi,
Adam, per your suggestion, I send my perfect weekly lineup Monday Nightbeat,
Tuesday, Rocky Jordan, Wednesday, The Saint, Thursday, The Adventures
of Philip Marlowe, Friday, Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, and Saturday Dragnet.
Well, thanks so much, Steve. I kind of was asking for
like the favorite lineup we've actually had on the podcast. That one's a good
lineup, but we've never quite done that setup. Although any listener or thinks
that's a good schedule to listen to shows can just use all our archive feeds.
Listen through those, raise through start to finish on the day's chosen us.
Go over to big Less dot Great Detectives dot net to see all of
the programs we've done. Thanks for the email, and then we have an
email from Sarah Jane. She sent in a response to the survey and I
also answered some questions she had for a project she was working on, and
she said, I'd love to hear more on the show about your process uncovering
old episodes, archival work, and what has inspired you. These ted bits
always stand out to me. It's great to get to know you better as
you also support the old Time programs with fantastic industry slash cultural context. Well,
thanks for the question, Sarah Jane. Now, I guess I would
say, first of all, just to address the archival part. Now,
there is a very important function of transferring old time radio programs from reel to
real tape or from transcription disc to digitize them. Now, I do not
actually do anything with that at all. I don't have the proper equipment,
and to be honest, it's kind of delicate work and I'm a big clumsy
guy when it comes to things like that. I have to say that for
all of this, we do owe a debta gratitude to the folks who have
those skills and make programs freely available. A big part is just keeping your
ear to the ground and seeing what new programs are coming into common circulation among
collectors. So that's a big part of it. And of course I honor
whatever agreements are attached to a particular file. If it's a situation where they
say do not share for the file for six months, you won't play it
for at least six months, don't share it for a year. I don't
play it for a year. That sort of thing and I guess beyond that.
Sometimes it just involves going down Internet rabbit holes and sometimes finding something interesting
in some obscure corner of the Internet. For example, I found a couple
of files that got posted on one place in the Internet but never got picked
up like into wider collections. And then there was a situation where someone posted
a bunch of old time radio programs with just AFRs Armed Forces Radio Services and
the number of the post, and I kind of had to go through,
like, you know, a hundred plus different pages on the Internet archive.
And I think during one of those, I found a previously uncirculated episode of
Police Blotter which started Bill Zuckert, and I was able to email his daughter
and let her know before we even played it that that had been found.
That sort of thing, just kind of going through a lot of different things,
you know, trying to find different websites where something might be posted somewhere,
because the Internet is a very big place, and sometimes I'll spend an
hour going through different things and be like, well, I did not actually
find anything for all my searching and researching and what have you. But that's
how it goes. It's you know, fun days. You just don't get
a bite. But is that going to stop me next time I in searching
the Internet for something and may find program I'm looking for or something entirely different
that I'll end up using in some other way. No, that's not going
to stop me in terms of I guess for this series. You know,
I've talked about what got me started on Dragnet several times, but what really
inspired me with this series was one I had listeners to the Dragnet podcast who
wanted me to do podcasts of different series, and I didn't think any of
them were as well known or as sustainable as a podcast about Dragnet. And
then then I started to listen to an old time radio radio station and I
listened to Let George do It, and it brought back all the good memories
I had watching detective shows when I was a kid growing up and how much
fun I had. And they tended to do things on their radio station where
what was played was based on what day it was, so if you were
listening to that station on October twenty fifth, you would hear programs within a
genre that were for October twenty fifth. The nice thing about the Internet is
if you hear people doing something one way and you think it could be done
another you can try and do it another way, and I thought it would
be much better rather than here's this random program that was played on October twenty
fifth, to play all the way through a series from start to finish,
every episode so you can see how it develops and how the production changes and
what casting changes occur. I will say in defense of that approach, it's
not necessarily a bad approach that they were doing. It's just not the one
I preferred. And so I decided to do a podcast or we'd go through
each detective series from start to finish. And I also decided we'd be going
through multiple detective series at the same time so that we could get as wide
a spectrum of listeners as we possibly could, because some people might not like
one program, but then they could go ahead and listen to another, and
we get the highest number of listeners. And what inspires me to continue to
do the podcast, I mean, I think there are a couple of things.
On a basic level, it's a matter of inertia. At this point,
we've been putting out these podcasts daily for fourteen years. Tomorrow now I'm
doing something and I like what I'm doing. It's great to continue to learn
talk about things that I care about and that I enjoy doing. I get
to learn new things and find out new things, not just from books or
old newspapers, but sometimes from your emails. And I'm still hearing episodes that
I haven't heard, as well as episodes I haven't heard in many years,
which I think is effectively the same thing. And then honestly, it's a
response of listeners who love the program, and that really means so much when
people tell you that what you're providing makes a difference in their life, that
they enjoy your commentary, and those type of comments really have kept me going
over the years, because over the time we've done the podcast, there have
been a lot of moments of frustration because I've wanted to be doing this content
creation as my full time pursuit. And I think what made it more frustrating
is based on the number of downloads, a number of listeners we had that
it should have happened, you know, years ago, and you start to
feel a little guilty about doing it because it's like, Okay, you're working
your full time day job and you're not really enhancing the family's bottom line at
all. You really need to go and do something that's going to make a
lot of money. If you're going to be making that commitment of time,
then it's not just the fact that I'm enjoying it, but that so many
people have let me know how much it means to them, and I don't
want to let them down. So we pressed forward and we continue to do
that, and the fact the positive comments really get us through all of the
challenges and certainly all the negativity. If you're going to do something on the
internet that gains any notice, then yeah, you're going to have people just
being awful. But for me, the positive support the encouragement really does help
me to keep going because truth be told, the people who really appreciate what
we're doing are the ones that I'm making the podcast for. That really keeps
me going there because you know, I've tried a lot of experiments in terms
of different content, and there are some things that I have stopped because I've
realized nobody is watching this, isn't connecting with anyone, and if anything,
I'm just amusing myself and sometimes I'm not even doing that. But to me,
the idea that you're doing something that you love and that people care about
and enjoy and makes a difference in their lives. That right, there's all
the inspiration you need. So thanks so much for the question, Sarah Jane.
I hope it answered your questions and all the best on your efforts and
the project that you're working on. Well, now it's time to think or

The colonel says, about eleven pm. She must have put up a
struggle and someone must have heard it. What is that cage over there?
Oh? That's a petit cage. Miss Madison had a pettitt. She called
it Whitey. Where the cage is empty and the pedica. There's no petit
here when you found the body, was there no, mister comedian, what
is it? But it must have gotten the way Miss Madison often let it
out, and the bedroom window was open. Whitey must have flown out the
window last night. You know, I think you are lying about that petrot.
But I'm not lying. I'll tell you I'm not communion. Yes,
Dave, I'm here. So I just heard the darnist story from the woman
who lives in the apartment next door. It seems miss Madison had a paris
