Troy and his team set explosives at a German ammunition depot, but their escape is interrupted by Dietrich, who demands their surrender. Confident due to the surrounding explosives, Troy and Moffitt disarm the charges and decide to wait until nightfall to make their move. Dietrich's men, not wanting to cause a massive explosion, resort to using bows and arrows, accidentally hitting Hitch in the shoulder. Troy quickly tends to him. Moffitt attempts to reach a truck using smoke grenades but is captured by Dietrich. With the aid of an Arab winery owner, the Rat Patrol makes a daring escape. When an American grenade fails to detonate the depot, the winery owner steps in to finish the job.
