Lt. Todd's paratroopers have their plane hijacked by Bates. Todd recaptures it but has to keep it from crashing in China, consequently dying as he lands it. In succession, Plank is killed while trying to get his money; Billings uses a mirror to attract the Chinese, who shoot him; McCullogh tries to storm a tank and is cut down; Meeks gives his life to destroy the tank with a grenade. Only Anson survives to cheer Todd and Meeks and jeer McCullogh, Plank and Billings, who "were weak -- each in his way!"
