A German large cannon is stopping the Allied lines that cannot advance. The location of the cannon is not found by the recon squads since the Germans hide it in different caves. Out of the blue, Saunders´ squad is assigned to follow the rookie Lt. William Benton, who is the son of the famous and respected General Benton and intends to locate the cannon. Lt. Benton comes with the experienced Sgt. Stoner, who was assigned to protect the lieutenant and refers pejoratively to him as "Billy the Kid". When Lt. Benton asks to bring excessive equipment to their mission, Saunders questions but receives no explanation. When they arrive at the location, the stubbornness of Benton causes the death of two soldiers. What is his plan?
"Billy the Kid" is a great episode of "Combat!" with important revelations. Even in times of war, sons of important people have privileges. Sgt. Saunders is the example of the perfect military, following orders and respecting his superior. The conclusion is condescending to Lt. Benton with his plan working out. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "Billy the Kid"
