Synopsis:
Easy Company is sent forward to probe enemy positions. As they march forward, Rock spots Jeb Stuart and the Haunted Tank under fire. Easy rushes to the rescue, but Rock is captured. The Nazi soldiers want to exchange Rock for their own sergeant who was captured by Easy. Despite Rock's protests, Easy agrees to the exchange of prisoners.
When the two sergeants meet for the exchange, a challenge is issued. Rock and Sgt. Schlum then face off in single combat. A fist fight results in a draw, so both men use pistols. Rock is wounded by his opponent's shot and falls. Schlum then approaches for the killing shot, but after a delay he falls. Rock's shot hit its mark and has killed the enemy sergeant. Easy then takes Rock to get his wounds healed.
