The episode opens in a bombing run over Germany in Colonel Gallagher's plane with Major Stovall riding as co-pilot. Captain Dula (new to the squadron) is acting as Navigator, while he awaits the decision of a flight review board (as he lost his last plane, less than 10 days ago). Anti-aircraft fire hits the plane knocking out Gallagher, Stovall (wounding him badly), and killing the Bombardier. Komanski takes over the controls, until Captain Dula orders him (twice) to give them up and orders him back to his gun position. Komanski ignores the order to his gun position and instead works to save Major Stovall's life. Dula has the radio operator enter into the log a charge of mutiny, which is punishable by death. It is Komanski's birthday and after his party, he receives a letter from a POW about Dula's last mission as a pilot. It all comes to a head by the end of the episode.
