Synopsis: In scorching North Africa, Frying Pan Patrol gets whittled down by a Nazi tank to one lone GI. He radios in: he's going after that tank. He's ordered to return: "One man! You'll never make it!" He trudges after the tank, snipes the crew, explodes their gas cans. Finally the heat forces the Nazis out of their tank as a sandstorm hits. The GI lobs a grenade inside. Back at base, he's a hero for stopping that tank: one man. "Not - one - man! All of Frying Pan Patrol was with me!"
