Episode Overview
Amid the brutal realities of World War I, soldiers are falling in alarming numbers. Suddenly, the French troops unexpectedly drop their weapons and calmly walk away from the front lines. The generals respond by charging them with desertion, a serious offense. Tremaine takes on the role of their advocate, but the soldiers seem reluctant to explain their strange actions. As he awaits the fateful day, he searches for a special drink they wish to share as a final toast. Visiting the family of a young French boy, they encounter a German soldier who shares a similar tale of his comrades abandoning their posts. Rushing back to headquarters, Tremaine manages to halt the execution just in time, as officers confirm the truth of these uncanny events, revealing a mystical occurrence.
