Synopsis for "Combat Casey"

On a 12-hour pass, Combat Casey and Penny Pennington head into town for some fun. There there are seen by some military police officers who tell them to straighten up their uniforms. When they cut through an alley they are jumped by Chinese soldiers hiding out there and taken prisoner. When they come around they find themselves prisoner of a Chinese operative calling herself Comrade China who orders them to strip off their uniforms. They are forced to do so and hand them over to some Chinese soldiers who then use their uniforms to steal ammunition and return to town. When they tell Comrade China that they dumped the soldiers on the side of the road, she berates them for not stealing their uniforms as two high-ranking Chinese officials have arrived and need American uniforms to sneak back over to their lines.

So instead the soldiers trade uniforms with their superior officers. Penny then shocks Combat by offering to straighten up their uniforms to get past the strict MP's outside. After the commanding officers leave in their American uniforms, Comrade China and her minions go looking through the crates that they stole from a supply truck. When she can't read the labels, Penny tells her that they are C-Ration supplies. Wanting to try American food, Comrade China and her men crack open the cans only to find that they have gas inside. As they choke on the gas, Combat and Penny duck down below it. Just then the MPs burst in and mow down the enemy troops.

In the aftermath, Penny points out that the MPs knew where to find them because they caught the Chinese officials posing in the American uniforms because while he was straightening out their outfits he tore the seats of their pants. Combat and Penny then recover their uniforms and return to base, but there they are scolded for the holes they have in their pants.

Synopsis for "Penny's Peek-a-BOOM Patrol"

On solo patrol duty, Penny spots a Chinese courier on a motorcycle zipping by and takes a shot at him, causing him to crash. Recovering his papers, Penny takes the rider prisoner and returns to base with him as a prisoner. The courier refuses to talk, but Penny is able to read the plans as he can read Chinese.

These plans are a map of where enemy troops are smuggling supplies through their area at night without being spotted by their bombers. It does not explain how so Captain Stone sends Penny and others out on patrol of the area at night to try and learn how. Penny comes across the reason: A Chinese soldier with a luminescent x painted on his chest signals the trucks to advance until he hears a plane then covers himself up signaling the truck to stop and kill their engines. When Penny tries to shoot a flare, he realizes his gun has been water logged and tries to jump into the back of one of the trucks in the convoy so he doesn't lose it.

His landing is less than graceful as he ends up kicking over objects in the back of the truck, unknowingly spilling luminescent paint on his boots. As he dodges shots fire by the soldiers driving the trucks, Penny climbs up on top of the truck and walks along it, leaving glowing foot prints behind him that the bombers pick up. Hearing the bombers approach, Penny jumps for cover as the bombers destroy the trucks, foiling their operation.

Synopsis for "Combat Casey"

Combat and Penny are fighting Chinese soldiers when they are suddenly surrounded by an army of guerillas led by Kaesong Katie. Surprised to see her alive they inquire as to how she survived their last encounter as they saw her be executed[1]. She explains that she had some of her loyal followers under her superior's command and they fired blank bullets while she faked her death. She goes on to explain that she has sought to capture Combat and Penny again in order to turn them over to her commanders in order to regain their good graces.

However, unwilling to walk in head first, he sends Penny with a written note to hand over to the commanding officer, threatening to kill Combat if he does not comply. Penny agrees, and delivers the note and the reply between Katie and her former commanding officer. This spurns both sides to attack each other and a slaughter breaks out while Combat and Penny escape. As they flee, Combat asks Penny what he did and Penny explains that he can read and write Chinese, so when he was delivering the messages for either side he wrote insults and challenges to both to insure their mutual destruction.
