What Sahara Is About

North Africa, 1942. An American tank gets separated from its column and heads into the desert, picking up a crowd along the way: British soldiers, a Frenchman, a Sudanese soldier, an Italian prisoner and eventually a German pilot. Their water is nearly gone and the one well they find gives up drops. As a German battalion closes in on the same well, Sergeant Gunn tries delay rather than battle. A morale picture made while the outcome was still unknown, and unusually plain-spoken for it.
