- Synopsis:
- During the Allied push to Paris, General Patton's tanks have outrun their supply lines in a dramatic dash into German-held territory. Lieut. Campbell (Jeff Chandler) is assigned to throw together a racially mixed 'red ball' unit of supply trucks and get them through to the front. Campbell's sergeant is Kallek (Alex Nicol), a bitter young man who despises Campbell, believing him to be responsible for the death of his brother before World War II began. The two men remain at odds during the dangerous mission, and find themselves in a perilous situation where their prejudices are exposed and their commitment to the cause tested.
