The Rat Patrol undertakes an ambitious mission: They must rescue an ailing French Resistance general from a Nazi stronghold. Tully and Moffitt transport the liberated general to a rendezvous at a German-held lighthouse. Hitchcock stands lookout, disguised as a German guard. However, Troy is held captive inside the lighthouse, betrayed by the lighthouse keeper Mathias, who wants the reward the Germans will pay for the general. Moffitt tries to reach him but ends up unconscious. In the ensuing fight, Mathias dies, and Troy manages to signal a trawler into the area to smuggle the general to safety.
