Not sure how many televised episodes there were but having heard all the radio stories available these make a welcome addition...also repeat the theme of unrest in the middle east over oil...seems as if we will continue to have these variations every decade or so...

Loosely reminiscent of Sean Connery's "The Man with the Deadly Lens".

I noticed that one person claims the copyrights for all 39 episodes are still under copyright. I did a fast search at the copyright cat and it came up blank from 1978 forward. Only the The Bhandara story shows a 1985 renewal. The copyright renewal was for 1985-07-31 meaning that this 1951 episode becomes PD in July 7, 2013 unless it's renewed.

I think what they are trying to do is to keep one of the oldest under copyright so they can recover the rest in court at a later date if it ever becomes popular again. Unless things change, all copyright will be lost at the end of next month.

Brian Donlevy continues to do well in the television adaptation of "Dangerous Assignment." Some of the issues in the middle east in this and other episodes mirror the unrest that is taking place today.

Season 1, episode 6.
Original air date: 1952.
Cast: Brian Donlevy (Steve Mitchell), Herb Butterfield (Commissioner), Stanley Waxman (Rudi), Hans Herbert (Fritz), Suzanna Dalbert (Lise), Dan Seymour (Baumgartner), Norman Budd (Gerlach), William Yetter (Otto) and Joseph Mell (Conductor).
From IMDB.
Very bad Cold War Propaganda series. It is a shame to make scrap like this.
