After each Allied bombing of their harbor, the Germans use Allied POWs to rebuild it. HQ sends the Rat Patrol to liberate 5,000 POWs and halt the harbor's usefulness. Troy must coordinate his plans with Major Indrus, an American who is inside the camp. They use an explosive-laden boat to get into the harbor but the Germans stop it halfway in. The captain, Bertaine, doesn't allow the Germans to board his boat. Troy and his men are able to fight off the boarding party and escape into town but at the cost of Bertaine's life. They are followed by El Gamil, a sympathetic Arab merchant and black marketeer, who provides a car and uniforms for Moffitt and Hitchcock to go to the German Officer's Club in search of Bertaine's daughter Marianne. She is regarded as a traitor by locals because she performs at the club, but Troy has no choice but to seek out her help. The episode ends with Moffitt and Hitchcock entering the club.
