Detailed Synopsis
Somewhere in Italy in 1944, Joey is reading a Fantastic Fiction magazine, when Mittens asks him if he has the comic with the space alien women. Joey tells him he traded it for some Lucky Strike cigarettes and he trades Mittens for some candy bars. The Sarge walks over to The Medic and asks him how his feet are doing. The Radioman tries to get a hold of "Scotty One", but can't reach them. He tells The Sarge that he can't reach anyone and is getting interference. The Sarge asks to see The Radioman's compass and notices the needle on his compass is also spinning around. Dolan takes a photograph of Joey and Mittens and then introduces himself to them. Dolan then walks over to The Sarge and introduces himself. The Sarge tells The Lieutenant that he doesn't think they can wait for any of the others squads to arrive. The Lieutenant disagrees and walks away as he hears a noise, which he thinks are the other squads. The Lieutenant runs towards the sound and is shot dead. A platoon of Nazi soldiers crests a hill and starts shooting at the squad of American soldiers. The Medic is wounded and then shot and killed after pointing out his Red Cross arm band. While running to the woods with Joey, Mittens and Dolan, The Radioman is shot in the back and killed. The Sarge then circles around the Nazis and kills them. As he is walking towards the others, he appears to be shot, but miraculously survives and kills the Nazi who shot him. Joey tells The Sarge he thought he was surely dead and when Dolan brings up the myth of The Sarge's invincibility, The Sarge says the myth is fake. As they are making their way through the woods, they are watched by The Alien. They are suddenly attacked by a mortar group and The Alien uses a device to vaporize a large tree branch that is about to fall on them. They takes shelter in a building for the night and while Verona is on watch, he sees The Alien, walks back into the shelter and puts his Fantastic Fiction magazine in the campfire. In the morning, Joey asks Dolan if he has known many soldiers that have gone crazy from battlefield stress and then tells him about what he saw last night. Dolan tells Joey he probably saw a moose and Mittens tells Joey he saw a deer while he was on watch. Dolan convinces Mittens to take him to where he saw the deer. Joey is playing an imaginary baseball game with baseball cards when The Sarge wakes up and The Sarge gets upset when he finds out Mittens and Dolan left to hunt a deer. Dolan and Mittens crest a hill and see an S.S. camp. Dolan wants to investigate, but Mittens refuses to go. Dolan then tells Mittens he is going to go pee. As The Sarge and Joey are searching for Mittens and Dolan, they come across weird metallic material that is cold to the touch. Dolan sneaks into the S.S. camp and sees drawings of an alien spacecraft and thinks it is a Nazi secret weapon. Joey goes to look over a hill and sees the crashed alien spacecraft. Dolan is discovered by an S.S. Sentry who is then shot by Mittens. An S.S. Motorcyclist and his passenger arrive and Dolan is shot in the shoulder. Joey and The Sarge enter the spacecraft
