synopsis
Wandering far afield from the realism inherent in the series' earlier episodes, Combat ventures into Pulp Fiction Land with this unacknowleged version of Richard Connell's short-story classic "The Most Dangerous Game." Saunders (Vic Morrow) and a wounded Kirby (Jack Hogan) are captured by German captain Erich Heismann (Alfred Ryder), a former big game hunter. To satisfy his sadistic sense of "sportsmanship", Heissman forces Saunders into a Game of Death--and before long the sergeant is being hunted down like a wild animal!
