It begins with Kirby being sent back to town to recuperate from some minor injury. While there, he meets GI Harry White who is a truck driver who uses dirty dice to cheat other GIs. Harry has been running his dirty dice game when Kirby spots the dirty dice and tells the other players. Harry manages to skip out just as the town is hit with an artillery barrage. A shell shocked Kirby manages to get out of town and later comes across Harry White whose truck has run out of gas. Harry takes up with Kirby to get back to their own lines, but he insists on carrying a huge Sterling silver service set with him. Along the way, they pick up Claudette and her ailing grandfather, and all four must travel through cold and snow to evade the Germans on their way to safety. Harry is concerned only with his war booty, and Claudette's concern is for her grandfather who is unable to walk and must be pulled on a sled across the snow. The normally somewhat irresponsible Kirby rises to the demands of the hour and forces the group onward. In the end, Harry White does make a sacrifice to aid the others.
