Synopsis:
The Haunted Tank is sent to defend Zahilla Pass. After parachuting into the area at night, they encounter the Zahilla tribe. Prince Akmed, who is sympathetic to the Allied cause, has died. He and his still living bride are being burned. Jeb saves the life of Princess Azeela. By Zahilla custom, he must marry her. Jeb agrees.
After the marriage Jeb and the Haunted Tank move out to defend the pass. Azeela comes with him. The Zahilla do not follow because the Mufti, their new leader, favors the Nazis. Although the single tank is able to slow down the Nazi advance, they soon run low on ammunition. They are saved when the Zahilla show up to defend their princess. However, the Mufti tries to murder Jeb. Instead his shot hits the princess and kills her.
