The Rat Patrol must destroy a very prized German radar station, clearing the way for an Allied bombing raid. The Rat Patrol receives a new, special kind of explosives to do it. Troy is apprehensive about carrying this dangerous cargo, which can explode with the slightest bump. Dietrich learns of the mission and tries to beat the Patrol to the area by utilizing an old Arabic legend of an unknown "trigh" (road) through the jebels (mountains). The Patrol is also in search of this trigh. But Moffitt gets them lost, and Dietrich beats them there. Troy then manages to plant some explosives -- and bluffs Dietrich out of the radar station by telling him that he's willing to die himself rather than let the station do its work.
