There are two plots within this episode and both have to do with men being forced to make important decisions. One is group leader Major Morse (Gerald O'Laughlin) who has flown 35 missions and his abilities seem compromised. It's not that he's hesitant or afraid...it's quite the opposite. He's gung ho and fearless...qualities that aren't necessarily good ones in this situation. The other is a Corporal (Brandon de Wilde) who was a conscientious objector who also would make a great aerial gunner. Both need to do SOMETHING they are loathe to do.
This is a pretty good episode of "12 O'Clock High"....not among the best but very solid and entertaining. Well worth your time.
