Captain Dietrich monitors a broadcast to the Patrol from HQ and then intercepts them on their way to meet and escort a supply convoy. With the odds decidedly against the Rats, Troy takes refuge in an oasis. A young Arab girl playing nearby runs away, terrified of the noise, and falls down an old well. The Rat Patrol and Dietrich's unit agree to a truce and work together to save the child, who is still alive. But the arrival of a second German unit complicates the reluctant peace, shooting Tully. Ultimately, they rescue the child, and the Patrol escapes in the confusion.
