Vic is sent on a mission with guest star Richard Anderson to deliver field radios to French resistance fighters. Problem is that Vic doesn't trust this new man he's forced to take along, but Rick emphasizes that they have no choice.
Anderson turns out to be a coward and a drag on the mission whose expertise with radios is the only reason his bad behavior is tolerated at all. Danger from the nearby Germans maintains suspense, while Anderson's paranoid philosophy can endanger all the other troops. A young boy with the Resistance bonds with Anderson, as both take a philosophical bent compared to the other soldiers.
A large contingent of German troops and equipment arrives nearby and Vic must warn Rick and headquarters of the danger they represent. The Germans track his transmission and are ready to close in on them. Matters come to a head when Germans capture the young boy and his innocent French grandparents and are killing them -Anderson wants to save them while Vic remains steadfast in his mission to warn his men. Vic succeeds in contacting Rick, and saves the day.
In an exciting gun battle with the Germans, both the boy and Anderson conduct themselves heroically, with the show's message more subtly conveyed than usual, and child actor Robert Crawford Junior (Johnny's brother) stands out as the French youngster.
