The Patrol manages to ambush a German unit carrying US POWs. Three of these POWs are apparently out to kill each other. Sgt. Gribs, whose cowardliness caused his men to become captured, is fighting against Tex and Eddie, two privates who want revenge. Gribs bargains with Troy for protection, telling Troy that he has information vital to US Command about Nazi troop movements. Gribs parcels out slight hints of his "vital" information to keep himself safe. They start back to HQ, but one of the unit's jeeps breaks down. They continue to travel slowly across the desert until they can capture a German vehicle. It all ends in heroism or something close.
