Saunders (Vic Morrow) an his men are assigned to smuggle valuable French partisan Bresson (Eugene Borden) past enemy lines. En route, Bresson is shot in the back, and is in dire and immediate need of medical attention. Thanks to a series of tragic mishaps, the only doctor available to operate on Bresson is a German (Gunnar Hellstrom). This episode is full of characteristic Robert Altman touches, from the excellent use of mood lighting to the almost casual death of a familiar supporting character. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
