Synopsis:
Jeb Stuart and his crew are sent to hold a small town in France. They spot two tanks being dropped into the town by air. Rick shoots one before it reaches the ground. They then engage and destroy the second tank.

The town has been evacuated. However, a group of old French soldiers have stayed behind. Jeb unsuccessfully tries to convince them to leave. When the Nazis attack, the old men return fire. They then charge the enemy. One soldier, armed with dynamite sacrifices his own life to blow up the enemy infantry.
