The Rat Patrol go to the north African coast on the Mediterranean to pick up Lt. Kemper (Creator/DickSargent) from a sub. Kemper has blood on his dog tags, which makes Sergeant Troy suspicious. Just then, a bunch of Nazis show up, led by Captain Dietrich (Creator/EricBraeden, credited as Hans Gudegast). Kemper and the Rat Patrol fire back, and Dietrich dies.

Still, Troy suspects Kemper is not who he says he is. Adding to the Rat Patrol's suspicions, as Kemper reviews the map for an upcoming naval barrage, he seems to be more interested in mapping Allied positions than German positions. Kemper says he needs to know the strengths of the Allied positions as well as the enemy's to properly plan the upcoming naval barrage, which is certainly plausible.

Moffitt and a British soldier go back to the beach and find the corpse of an American without dog tags. %% Tattoo: KM ♥ SM ???

plausible, but still... Troy sends Hitchcock to contact American headquarters and get more information.

But at the radio house, they're ambushed by Dietrich and his men. Dietrich had only pretended to die before. Now he demands Troy take them to the fire control point. Troy refuses, then acquiesces. They all exit the radio house.

Meanwhile, Private Hitchcock, who's been skulking around the ceiling of the building, opens fire on the Germans, allowing Troy and Moffitt to escape. Dietrich chases them back to the coast. Soon Troy's in a fistfight with Dietrich as Moffitt watches and the map gets lost in the water. The Germans retreat, and the Rat Patrol set off to the fire control point, the location of which is in Troy's head.

! This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
* DeadPersonImpersonation and DressingAsTheEnemy: the Nazi who takes the identity of the real Lt. Kemper.
* FakingTheDead: Dietrich seems to die, but is later seen perfectly healthy.
