Synopsis:
Sgt. Jeb Stuart receives cryptic warnings from the ghost of General Jeb Stuart, who is haunted his tank. The rest of the tank crew does not hear the ghost.
After shooting down a German plane, the Haunted Tank meets up with another tank to protect a squad of infantry. The infantrymen explain that two other tanks have been destroyed by a ghost tank.
Not believing the story, Jeb and the other tank commander Marty Gibson begin to cross an open area. Suddenly a tank appears in a cloud of smoke and destroys Marty's tank. Jeb blasts the German tank, but it disappears.
Another tank quickly appears in another cloud of smoke. Jeb and the crew are knocked unconscious, but General Stuart's ghost drives the Haunted Tank into a collision with the Nazi tank. The crew recovers in time to destroy their opponent and discover an underground base. They destroy the base after entering on an elevator. Finally, the crew returns and allows the infantry to cross the field.
