Jack Webb hosts an American Military training film about what to do in case one becomes a prisoner of war. An American POW is interrogated by Chinese soldiers in Korea. The interrogator threatens the POW by putting a gun on the table and orders him to stand up. Another soldier stands by with a bayoneted rifle. Jack Webb warns to not give the enemy any info, and to not even tell your life story or write an esssay on America (it could be used as propaganda.) He holds up a pencil dramatically and tells us to not take the pencil.
