Private Joe Burch and Sergeant Mulvaney are assigned to a French infantry unit in Korea as part of a military exchange program, only to find themselves under enemy fire—and under the command of the pint-sized but formidable Sergeant Pierre Jaques. When the unconventional Frenchman orders an audacious dawn attack that leaves the Americans skeptical, Joe and Mulvaney must decide whether to trust their new ally's battle strategy.

Private Joe Burch and Sergeant Mulvaney catch a break from the Korean front, but the Colonel has other plans—he orders them to hunt down a dangerous female spy known as the Korean Mata Hari, who's escaped custody. Armed with only half a photograph and a tip about a distinctive birthmark, the two G.I.s must track her through the town's cafés, where they stumble upon a woman claiming to be from Brooklyn. With Burch's gift for smooth talk and Mulvaney's sharp eyes, the pair zeroes in on their suspect, only to discover she's far more ruthless and cunning than they bargained for.

Private Joe Burch and Sergeant Mulvaney stumble upon enemy soldiers forcing American prisoners to dig what appears to be their own graves during a patrol behind enemy lines. When Joe hatches a daring plan to turn the tables, the Sarge backs his play—but pulling it off will take nerves of steel and split-second timing. A tense rescue unfolds in "Ambushed!" as the two GIs prove that sometimes the best way to spring a trap is to walk right into one.

Whitey Hicks are assigned to police the post, they stumble onto a pair of foreign spies chasing a top secret document—and decide catching them might finally earn them respect from Sgt. Gruff and Colonel Stone. What starts as routine cleanup duty turns into a chaotic chase full of mishaps as the two privates try to outsmart the spies and prove their worth to the brass.

Private Joe Burch and Sergeant Mulvaney find themselves stranded behind enemy lines in Korea, cut off from their company and with the sea at their backs—so they improvise a raft and hitch a ride with a passing destroyer. Once aboard, Joe's natural talent for causing trouble (and marksmanship) makes an unexpected impression, but when he and the Sergeant return to rejoin their trapped infantry unit, circumstances force Joe to commandeer the boat and mount an unorthodox assault. It's wartime ingenuity and scrappy grit wrapped in comic chaos, proving that sometimes the toughest soldier just needs the right angle to turn the tide.
