As Steve Mitchell walks into the commissioner's office, he says "Ruth says you want to see me". He says "I do Steve, your plane to Indochina leaves in an hour". Steve says "Indochina? Look, can't you send me to some nice peaceful place sometime?" The Commissioner says "You'd probably die of boredom". Steve says "Or shock. Well, okay. What's the deal?" Commissioner says "Think back three months ago today, Steve". He says "Three months ago, yeah, she was a redhead what about her?" Commissioner says "No, I'm talking about Paul Sarvage. Remember him?" Steve says "Sarvage, sure, one of our government clerks who was discharged three months ago on suspicion of being connected with a spy ring in this country. What about him?" Commissioner says "At the time, Sarvage claimed he was innocent. Last night we found out Sarvage was right. One of those witnesses in the case suddenly felt like talking. He arranged a secret meeting with one of our agents, but on the way to that meeting he was shot. He lived just long enough to tell us that he and the other witnesses have been paid to say what they did. The whole case against Sarvage was a frame". Steve says "This is a great time to be finding that out who framed Sarvage, and why?" Commissioner says "You remember at the time, Sarvage claimed he had complete information about the spy organization in this country. He was framed to discredit him and shut his mouth". Steve says "I still don't see where I.... hey wait a minute. You said I was flying to Indochina. You mean that's where Sarvage is now?" Commissioner says "Here, take a look at this European newspaper picture showing prisoners of the guerrillas in Indochina". Steve says "Hey, one of those prisoners looks like Sarvage". Commissioner says "We think it is, Steve. We know he went to Indochina and signed up with the French to fight the guerrillas. Now he's in their prison camp. You must get him out of there before they realize he has information that is vital to us. You've got your assignment, Steve. Good luck".
