Notes: The Korean War. Captain Marlin is troubled because he is scheduled to send a barrage against the Communist enemies command post across the valley. After he gets his final orders and carries them out the command post is reduced to rubble and the Captain is in near despair. We find out that this is because his son was being held prisoner at the post. And that he had to choose between not shelling and saving his son or carrying through with the barrage and saving many other American infantry troops. He is called back to headquarters and there is shown is son, Alan, alive. Alan had,luckily, been in the cellar of the Communist command post and survived with only some broken bones. - Joe Moore.
