Synopsis:
Jeb Stuart and the crew of the Haunted Tank are ordered to pull out of a tank battle and proceed to Checkpoint Able. When they reach the checkpoint, they find all the men dead. They decide to patrol the area and are caught in a sudden snow storm. The Nazis attack at that moment. The cold freezes the tanks motor, leaving it trapped. Jeb sets the tank on fire in order to generate heat to warm up the motor.

The Haunted Tank returns to Checkpoint Able with the Nazis in pursuit. They reach it just as they exhaust their supply of fuel and ammo. At the same time, the sun comes up, and a squad of relief troops arrive.
