synopsis
Deep in enemy territory, Saunders (Vic Morrow) and the squad come across a stranded Special Services jazz combo. In his efforts to escort the musicians back to safety, Saunders is stymied by the mercurial behavior of bandleader Bernie (Dan Duryea), who seems eager and willing to surrender to the Germans at the first opportunity. New Orleans-born squad member Caje (Pierre Jalbert) has a terrific line about the eccentricities of jazzmen in this episode, which features strong performances by a young Dennis Hopper and by celebrated Hollywood dialect coach Robert Easton.
