The story involves combat, gunfire, and pursuit as soldiers attempt to apprehend the enemy agent across difficult terrain. A backup feature, "Pinhead Perkins, PFC in Flying High," shows Perkins on leave attempting to impress a blonde actress named Betty Bable at a movie theater, only to have his plans disrupted when he is unexpectedly recalled to base duty.
When a Korean War patrol stumbles upon a group of Red Cross civilians cut off behind enemy lines, Joe Yank volunteers for a solo rescue mission that quickly turns into a firefight. Surrounded by Communist forces and caught between the civilians and enemy gunfire, Joe has to find a way to get everyone to safety before the Reds close in.
Private Joe Yank and Sergeant Mike McGurk—a pair of brawling GIs who'd rather fight each other than the enemy—are assigned to capture an enemy soldier for interrogation in Korea. When they grudgingly agree to work together, each secretly plans to outdo the other and claim glory, leading to a chaotic mission where their rivalry nearly gets them killed before they're forced to cooperate. By the time their commanding officer arrives to commend their "teamwork," the truce is already crumbling—and the real battle between them resumes the moment they're alone.
PFC Pinhead Perkins is yanked away from a chance to see his favorite movie star when Sergeant Grunkle orders him to pick up a visiting South American ambassador—but when Pinhead accidentally starts up a helicopter during what he thought was just a casual tour, he finds himself piloting an aircraft he's never flown before with an ambassador riding shotgun. What began as a frustrated soldier's worst day takes a wild, careening turn through the skies above the base.
Pvt. Joe Yank and Sgt. Mike McGurk infiltrate enemy lines during the Korean campaign only to be betrayed and captured by the ruthless Communist Colonel Blood—but their salvation may come from an unexpected source: Su San, a mysterious hermit girl with dangerous secrets of her own. As Joe and Mike face torture in the Colonel's caves, they must determine whether Su San is truly their enemy or an unlikely ally with her own reasons for defying the Red forces. This tale of deception and redemption unfolds against the grim backdrop of war, where nothing is quite what it seems.
