This is the story of a young apple-cheeked Sergeant nick-named “Ma” by his men because of his protective nature toward their scouting unit. It is also the tale of Pat Cassidy, a looter of watches and wine and a member of Horner’s unit. How these two opposites combine their talents to single-handedly capture a German-held land mine control center, makes a spellbinding, action-packed episode.
