The first and only episode of Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles to be released begins with an old "Movie Tone News Reel." It details the story of how Sgt. Robert Steven Savage, a tough, imposing and decorated soldier in European theater during WWII, is 'killed' along with his entire company in a failed raid on a German scientific facility. Later, when the facility is discovered, it turns out that Savage survived. The hero's frozen body is disovered, and is given to the Joes for further research. A robotic trooper invades the base, Savage awakens in the nick of time to rescue the Joes.
