- A group of USO entertainers are on the way to the front when their truck blows a tyre. As their driver is changing the tyre they decide to have a practice unaware that a German patrol is moving in on them. Fortunately, Sgt. Saunders and the squad have also heard them and move in behind the Germans. The driver and accompanying MP are killed in the attack so Saunders decides to take the USO group with him while they finish their job. They work their way forward and come across a mill house which they decide to use as a temporary base. The USO leader Bernie [Dan Duryea] is making life difficult for Saunders and generally proving very difficult to handle. Battalion radio Saunders and tell them to hold their position as they are sending transport for the USO group. As they are consolidating their position their scout reports that a German patrol is moving in. They manage to kill the German scouts but are pinned down by the Germans heavy machine gun. Bernie decides to take matters into his own hands and, unbeknown to the others, raises a white flag. The German commander, Lt. Knubel [Hank Brandt] sent two of his men in to accept the surrender and, when they approach, they are shot down. Brandt is furious and sends for reinforcements. Saunders tells Bernie that his stupid action will cost them all their lives as the Germans will now take no prisoners. The other members of the group including Hank [Noah Beery Jnr] who has been wounded, Zac [Dennis Hopper] and Woody [Robert Easton] tell Bernie that he did the wrong thing. Hank, out of his mind, wanders out towards the shot Germans and is killed. The squad is running low on ammunition and Saunders and Kirby sneak out to retrieve ammunition and grenades from one of the dead Germans just as an attack is launched. As they fight back reinforcements from battalion arrive and relive them but it is too late for Woody who has died from a wound.—Stevo15
- While going to the front to entertain the soldiers, the truck with a five-man American jazz band has a flat tire and the driver needs to change the tire. When the soldier that is escorting the truck leaves the group to check the surrounding area, the band under the command of their leader Bernie Wallace, decides to play jazz. They are heard by a German patrol and also by Sgt. Saunders and his squad that confront and kill the Germans. However, the driver and the soldier are killed, and Saunders is forced to bring the civilians with his team in their mission. When they reach the empty mill house, Saunders request transportation for the band but he is assigned to hold their position. But soon they are trapped by the Germans in the building and their ammunition is in the end.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
