Synopsis:
While on patrol Gunner and Sarge locate a large group of enemy tanks. They return to the beach to warn their superiors. The tanks are vulnerable to air strike, but they need someone on the ground to help with targeting. An electronics expert created miniature transmitters and implants them into the teeth of Gunner and Sarge. When the marines open their mouths, the transmitters send a signal to the planes to bomb the area, leaving a 50 yard safety zone around the signal to protect the signal senders.

Gunner and Sarge then locate the enemy tank convoy again and signal the air strike. The plan works and the tanks are destroyed. The marines then use the same tactic to destroy several other enemy targets. The Japanese then capture Gunner and Sarge and take them aboard a carrier. They try to learn the secret of the targeting system, but Gunner and Sarge won't talk. When the marines are brought on deck to be executed, they open their mouths and signal the air strike. When the carrier is destroyed, Gunner and Sarge jump overboard. They are picked up by their men and discover that the transmitter in their teeth have been knocked out in the blast.
