Kirby (Jack Hogan) and Littlejohn (Dick Peabody) volunteer as relief drivers for a "Red Ball Express" squadron headed by an overbearing sergeant (Claude Akins). In an extended sequence reminiscent of the French "new wave" classic The Wages of Fear, the two soldiers find themselves maneuvering a truck loaded with explosives through a gauntlet of German snipers. (Incidentally, the fact that many of the Red Ball Express drivers in WW2 were African-American is barely touched upon in this episode). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
