Plot

A traitor in the second World War is restricted to a prison camp and one of the men he betrayed is transported to the camp and promises to reveal his identity.

Opening Segment

"Fall in! Did you hear me, maggot? I said fall in! I swear, you must be the sorriest bunch of sad sacks I ever did see. You're a disgrace to the uniform, all of you. And you call yourself a scare force? What's your problem soldier? You some kind of mummy's boy? That it? Hmm. I guess you think you're like the man in tonight's tale. He's not much of a soldier either. It's a nasty little shriek and destroy mission I call "Escape."

Closing Segment

"Well, Luger wanted a discharge from the army and that's exactly what he got. Talk about a bleeder among men. I guess he'd rather fright than snitch. Now then, let's see what you maggots are made of! About face! Parade, march! Hut, two, three, four. Hut, two, three, four. Present arms!"

[someone hands the Crypt Keeper a severed arm]

"Now that's what I call hack-tive service."
