Joe and Big Mike are making their way through the Serbian countryside and decide to put on German helmets (souvenirs) instead of carrying them. However, a lady swimming near by sees the helmets and shoots, wounding Joe and knocking out Mike, thinking they are German. She is Serbian, treats Joe's wounds and has Mike carry him to her cabin, then sends him to the Americans for some sulfa.
