THE RAT PATROL 1 - 8 - The Fatal Chase Raid

After freeing two truckloads of .’s from a German convoy, the Rat Patrol is forced to transport the obnoxious, self-serving Sgt. Archie Gribs (Gavin MacLeod) back to headquarters. He claims to have information vital to Allied forces, but only seems interested in saving his own neck. With Gribs’ selfish attitude already grating on everyone’s nerves, the situation is made worse by the loss of one of their jeeps and the presence of two bitter GI’s who blame Gribs for their capture.
