Synopsis:
Lt. Hunter recruits a new member for the Hellcats, Pvt. Heller. She is the daughter of a bank guard who was murdered by a neighborhood crook named Tommy Carlin. Tommy joined the military to escape justice, so Heller joined the WACs to persue him. Heller's attitude and behavior soon landed her in the guardhouse where Hunter found her. Heller agrees to join the Hellcats who can provide her the mobility she needs to find Carlin.
On her first mission with the Hellcats, Heller and the men agree to take the place of hostages in a Norwegian town being held by the Nazis. The Nazi commander Major Von Verbst plans to execute the Hellcats and the hostages. Heller pretends to switch sides when the townspeople start an uprising. She is then able to surprise the Nazis and help the Hellcats defeat them.
