Synopsis:
Jeb Stuart and the Haunted Tank are deployed in the desert with a group of other tanks. Jeb falls behind when an enemy attack causes his tank to fall off the landing craft. When he catches up with the group he finds that the other tanks have engaged the enemy and have been disabled.

The remaining enemy tanks have retreated because they need water. Jeb outruns them to the nearest oasis only to discover that it is dry. The enemy tanks arrive and stay out of range. Jeb and his crew trick the Germans into believing their is water in the oasis. They surrender in order to quench their thirsts. Fortunately, an enemy plane crashes nearby to open a new watering hole. Jeb then escorts the captured men back to his battle group.
