These are the weapons of 18 00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:54.239 the OSS.

The role of John Marco, 21 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.519 the OSS agent, is played by comedy star Jerry Lester. 22 00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.719 The story is suggested by actual incidents recorded in the 23 00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:13.680 Washington files of the Office of Strategic Services, a story 24 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:15.159 that can now be told. 25 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:24.360 I always carried this little box. I never knew when 26 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:26.919 it might come in handy. It was about as big 27 00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:31.039 as a small lunch box. Well, to begin at the beginning, 28 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:36.439 I happen to be in the radio room at OSS 29 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.319 headquarters in Bambo that night when the message came through. 30 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:46.199 How important chap on the captive for you, can you 31 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:48.879 come get him? 32 00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:49.840 Come soon? 33 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:56.879 Chop only chum away again for. 34 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:11.680 Headquarterter in Mama to Agel Terry. 35 00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:16.479 So that's how Harry Stevens and I happened to be 36 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.719 in an eighty eighteen flying over Agent Terry's position about 37 00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:24.400 eighty six miles behind enemy lines in Burma. And like 38 00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:27.599 I say, I had this little box in my knapsack. 39 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.400 Oh oh, in case I forgot to mention it.

Her name was Rose. 47 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.080 She had a name like a flower and a face 48 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.319 like a weed. I called her cream a weed because 49 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:54.360 she was so mushy. 50 00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:57.360 Marco, I have but one thing to say to you. 51 00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:58.240 Well, talk to me. 52 00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:00.479 I hope you'll live to be as old as you jokes. 53 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.400 You know the trouble with you, Harry.

Nothing else, 62 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:39.879 No landing strip, no markers, no one waiting downstairs. Just 63 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.959 a rough field covered with brush. We knew something must 64 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:43.480 have gone wrong. 65 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:45.839 I don't get if, Marco. 66 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.399 Well, the jap's probably closed in and they're afraid to 67 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:49.040 come out of hiding. 68 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:52.560 Oh great, live jaft.

Colonel says he's already radioed back 73 00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:05.800 a lot of information on enemy physicians. This is the 74 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.199 first prisoner he's ever taken. What a rotten break. 75 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:10.720 Will look circle around again, maybe we'll see something. 76 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:17.560 Up. 77 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:20.319 Better head back before we run into trouble ourselves. 78 00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:23.120 Hey, Harry, Harry, Look look the brush it's being yanked away. 79 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.040 Yeah, yeah, I see it.

The plane bumped the ground 86 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:45.360 and rolled in. But we kept the motor still running 87 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.519 in case of a jab trick. And we sat there 88 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:53.480 waited for whatever was going to happen next. Harry, Harry, Look, look, 89 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:56.120 look something or somebody's coming out of that clump of 90 00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:57.160 bamboo at the end of the field. 91 00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.959 Yeah, hip your hand on your gun. 92 00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:07.000 I'll make a quick getaway if I have to check, Harry, Harry. 93 00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:11.480 Natives, Yeah, but are they friendly spears?

Unfortunately, however, 111 00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:11.600 my husband, the late referend Oscar Terry, a god filling man, 112 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:13.680 is the only one of us who knew how to 113 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:15.639 take it apart and put it together again. 114 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:19.600 Lynn, Yes, miss Tarring, that radio? 115 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:20.360 You have it? 116 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:24.680 I have it here, excellent captain.
