GIs close to the Nazi border tease Davy about being short, but the Sarge reminds them of the story of David and Goliath. And as Davy takes point, a German secret weapon comes stomping - a giant Stormtrooper robot! The GIs try for weak spots, but the robot shrugs off strafing from planes, a windmill, and underwater traps in a river. Davy is about to be stomped when he shoots into the giant's boot sole - and breaks some vital piece - so it topples and crashes. Davy grins. "All I was doing was to keep another big joker off my back!"
