The Merchant


Good evening, Mr. Phelps.  For several years Armand Anderssarian has been one of the world's largest dealers in illegal arms.  Now Anderssarian is about to complete his biggest deal, involving the purchase and resale of millions of dollars worth of American arma captured in Vietnam to guerrilla groups in key troubled areas of the world.  If Anderssarian succeeds, new violence and bloodshed is inevitable.  Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to stop Anderssarian and put him out of business for good.  This tape will self-destruct in five seconds.   Good luck, Jim.
