World War II play where the activity centers on a single maneuver by a group of GIs at retaliation from the force of this Siegfried line. Reese joins a group of GIs ordered back into the line when on their way. Half a dozen men are left to protect a wide front while the majority of the men draw facing a German pillbox at the side of a mine-field. By ruses, they manage to convince the Germans that there is a sizable force still holding the career. Reese leads two of the men in a adulterous and failed attack on the pillbox, in. And when the platoon returns, he is jeopardized with court-martial. That face the disgrace, and in a attempt he makes a one time attack on the pillbox.
