Synopsis:
Jeb Stuart receives orders to meet up with Mademoiselle Marie for a secret mission. After detouring around a demolished bridge, the Haunted Tank arrives at Marie's location and takes out an enemy tank that had her pinned down. Marie is still alive, but she now suffers from shell-shock and can't remember their intended target.
Jeb brings Marie aboard the Haunted Tank to scout the area for the target. They happen across an enemy ammo dump and a tank bridge. They destroy both targets, but Marie senses that neither of them was the threat she was trying to eliminate.
When the Haunted Tank approaches a dilapitated castle, Marie recalls that it is the target she wanted to destroy, though she can't remember the reason. The tank enters the castle and is quickly attacked. Jeb and Marie find that the castle is a Nazi missile launching site which was been sending rockets into Britain. Jeb and Marie destroy the launch site and escape the castle alive. Marie then elects to remain behind enemy lines to form a new resistance unit.
