synopsis
In desperate need of transportation to take the wounded Kirby (Jack Hogan) to an aid station, Saunders tries to commandeer the truck driven by a French matron named Mme. Carmaux (Nina Foch). But the woman stubbornly refuses to cooperate: her vehicle is carrying a coffin intended for the body of her son, and she will not be stopped until the boy receives a proper burial. What begins as a stalemate evolves into an uneasy truce, with Saunders and Mme. Carmaux ultimately working together...sort of.
