Synopsis by Hal Erickson
While taking a breather in a newly liberated French village, Kirby (Jack Hogan) sees a man he believes to be his old friend Avery (Rip Torn)--who has been reported missing in action. The moment Avery realizes he's been spotted, he takes it on the lam, with Kirby in hot pursuit. It soon becomes painfully clear that Avery had deserted at the Battle of St. Lo--and only through a profound act of personal sacrifice will he be able to find redemption.
