In the wake of a fierce battle, Saunders (Vic Morrow) and his squad are joined by a grimy-looking straggler named Pvt. Arthur Adams (Martin Hulswit). It soon develops that Pvt. Adams is something of a hero in his home town, and he is determined to uphold that image. But the sad truth is that the "hero" is a coward and deserter, who had stained his spotlessly clean uniform with dirt and mud just before joining up with Saunders. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
