Casey's outfit is sent to clear out Communist forces from a Korean town. Villagers warn Casey that the Communists are holding their children hostage in the schoolhouse, bound and gagged. Under cover of night, Casey and Penny slip into the school and smear the children with beet juice. In the morning, the Communists fear the children have come down with a plague and flee the building, right into the arms of the U.S. forces.
