Synopsis:
After patroling for snipers, Gunner and Sarge protect a transport plane that is being chased by a fighter. When the transport lands, they find their nurse friend Miss Julie inside.

The boys renew their fight for Miss Julie's attention. First Sarge orders Gunner to stand on duty while he entertains the nurse. Gunner then destroys an enemy patrol boat, earning Julie's admiration. Gunner is wounded, so Sarge must patrol alone.

When Sarge returns he is bound to an enemy tank. Gunner must fire on the tank, but worries about hitting Sarge. Sarge orders him to fire, and he makes a great shot taking out the treads. When Sarge is released, Julie admires his bravery in ordering Gunner to fire even if it endangered him.
