- Pvt. Mark Hitchcock: Well, Sarge, how was her cooking? As good as they say?

- Narrator: [voiceover] Based on information supplied by intelligence, the Rat Patrol have been assigned one of their most demanding missions: rescue from a Gestapo interrogation unit operating in a remote desert outpost Henri Lacaze, general and leader of the French Underground in North Africa. Transport him to a rendezvous point on the Mediterranean coast. From there, with cooperation of members of the underground, evacuate him to the Allies.

Moffitt and Private Pettigrew were approaching the rendezvous point: a German-held lighthouse where the third and final step of the mission was to be executed.
