synopsis
Ordered to destroy a German bridge, Saunders (Vic Morrow) and Littlejohn (Dick Peabody) make their way to a command post in hopes of getting reinforcements. But the post has endured heavy enemy fire and the extra troops have scattered--leaving behind only four disreputable GI prisoners who were being held for court-martial. This slimmed-down precursor to The Dirty Dozen features impressive dramatic performances by two sitcom veterans: Bill Bixby (My Favorite Martian and Bill Gray (Father Knows Best).
