Private Mark Pullam, awaiting court martial for an offense with a bottle of calvados, participates in a daring second assault on a Nazi pillbox near the Roer. Lt. William O'Brien and Pfc. Charles Kirk accompany him as 12 charges and flame throwers blaze. After a brutal night battle, the shelter is breached. 22 Germans surrender or are driven out, and Pullam salvages souvenirs while awaiting his fate.
