Assigned to a reconnaisance mission, Hanley (Rick Jason) is aided by veteran Resistance fighter Leon Poulon (Fernando Lama), who agrees to cooperate only if the squad takes his younger brother Marcel (Sal Mineo) along. Though Marcel has an all-consuming fear of death, Leon pretends not to notice, certain that the boy will perform heroically when the going really gets tough. But Leon's good intentions may prove fatal when he and Marcel are captured for interrogation by a cruel SS officer (played in deadly earnest by The Mary Tyler Moore Show's future "Ted Baxter"!) ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
