Synopsis:
Pop Peters is an old war veteran. He tried to fight in the first World War, but he was declared to be too young. When he came of age, he re-enlisted, but the war was over. Now he is too old to fight in the second World War, so he works as a tank mechanic and tells the orphans at a convent war stories that stretch the truth.

After Pop makes repairs to the Haunted Tank, it returns to action. After a skirmish with the Germans, Jeb learns that a group of Nazi tanks is headed for the convent. The Haunted Tank comes to the rescue, but it is set on fire by a Nazi flame-thrower. While the crew takes cover, Pop mans the machine gun and stops the Nazis. He is injured in the fight and must receive a blood transfusion from one of the nuns to save his life.
