August 16, 1953: Combat Kelly and Cookie Novak are behind enemy lines in North Korea where they have destroyed an enemy supply bridge. Trying to escape enemy troops they attempt to take down motorcycle scouts, but the bikes are trashed in the snare and they are forced to retreat on foot. They are chased to a nearby beach where Combat and Cookie take cover in a light house. From there they are able to keep the enemy troops at bay and when they send a fighter plane to attack, they shoot that out of the sky, damaging the side of the lighthouse in the process. When Combat and Cookie run out of ammo, the communists charge at them but are shocked when Combat and Cookie use the bricks from the damages side of the light house as make-shift weapons, tossing them down and bludgeoning the advancing guard. Eventually they knock them all out and escape the scene and get back behind American lines.
