The Rat Patrol (1966)

Episode Overview

Moffitt sustains serious injuries during a raid on a German convoy, leaving the Patrol stranded far from any medical assistance. In a desperate move, Troy opts to acquire blood from a nearby German field camp. He confronts Dietrich, the camp commander, demanding his help in locating a donor. Dietrich summons Corporal Pennell (played by teen idol Fabian Forte), a captured American deserter, who initially refuses to comply. Troy, however, forces his hand at gunpoint. As they make their way back, Dietrich pursues them, and it's up to Pennell to perform the "impossible" to avoid capture. Rising to the challenge, he helps them return just in time to save Moffitt’s life.
