Synopsis:
The Blackhawks arrive to help a unit known as Riley's Rangers. They stop a German ambush, but Colonel Riley is not happy to see them. The Colonel orders them to stay behind, while his unit attacks a bridge. When the unit falls into a trap, the Blackhawks bail them out again. Colonel Riley is angry that the Blackhawks disobeyed orders and sends them away from the front. Blackhawk then realizes that Riley is a Nazi imposter and stages a phony raid to expose him. The imposter is caught, and Captain Levy assumes command of the unit.
