Across the burning sands, a figure in a tattered uniform emerges. A British officer demands to be put in contact with his superiors, and report the German tanks are on the run. The immediate danger is in hiding from Germans who are outside the door. Posing as a waiter who was recently killed, the officer, actually an American Corporal, assumes the identity to hide out. Complaints from the Italian general about Field Marshal Rommel is heard, but will it be something that can be used to benefit our man when the time is right? Concern is shown that coded messages could be getting sent through laundry hanging on the lines.
