Synopsis:
Big Al, Little Al, and Charlie Cigar are part of Dog Company which has been wiped out in an artillery attack. Only the three men and their shellshocked lieutenant remain. They have orders to hold the position to cover the beach while the wounded men are evacuated. The lieutenant does not realize everyone else is dead, so the TNT Trio hold the line alone against oncoming forces. Miraculously they defend the position successfully until reinforcements arrive.
