Synopsis:
Jeb and his crew are picked for a mission to protect a group of infantry that is holding a town. The Haunted Tank is forced to remain in the open and hold position as the enemy approaches, so that the artillery can strike. Jeb and his crew fear that they will be killed.

As the enemy opens fire, the Haunted Tank shoots down a fighter. It crashes in front of the tank and creates a sinkhole. Jeb orders his tank into the hole as the artillery fire begins. The enemy tanks and infantry are wiped out, and the Haunted Tank survives the shelling by taking cover in the hole.
