In a plot reminiscent of a key scene in The Longest Day, American paratrooper Riddell (David Scheiner) finds himself trapped when his chute gets caught on a church spire. Entering the church to cut Riddell down, Saunders (Vic Morrow) and his men are themselves trapped by the sudden arrival of enemy troops. There is nothing for Saunders to do but hide in the the shadows of the church--and pray that the Germans do not get to Riddell before he does.
