This film is a fictional story about the breakout of a British tank trapped behind Italian lines in North Africa. An RAC Sergeant visiting a tank factory begins to recount the story of the tank to workers there in order to illustrate the value of their work, specifically the radio-intercom system. A Crusader tank, with crew from all over the Commonwealth, fights with Italians during a patrol, injuring the front gunner and knocking out the radio-intercom. The tank hides in a cave. It is in the middle of a large Italian convoy. The tank commander puts on an Italian uniform stolen from a captured Italian and steals some petrol from the Italians while the radio-intercom is being fixed. The next morning, the tank manages to break out, single-handedly wreaking chaos on Italian forces. <33mn>
