Combat!: Silver Service (1964) (TV)

[spoilers] Caje and Kirby are taken to a lodging place (I am very sorry for not being able to specify more precisely what that place was, and what they were doing there; I just do not know it) by a garrulous truck driver. Caje leaves to some unspecified destination, whereas Kirby stays. The truck driver plays a loaded dice with some of the soldiers stationed there, and cleans them out of big money. He suspects Kirby knows about his cheating, and leaves in a hurry, not knowing that the fellows over there had taken most of the fuel out of his truck for water heating purposes. The place is attacked by Germans during the night; Kirby manages to escape and while on the road he runs into the driver, stuck for lack of fuel. They walk out of there together, and end up asking for shelter at a house where a young woman lives with her father. They have to leave the house because the Germans are coming and the woman's father is a former resistance member. Throughout the episode the truck driver carries a heavy load with him, which seems to be of high value to him.
