This short-lived 1960s television series follows the adventures of an elite team of commandos known as "The Rats" (Christopher George, Justin Tarr, Morgan Jones and Lawrence Casey), who are stationed in North Africa during World War II with a mission to capture their nemesis, Hauptmann Dietrich (Eric Braeden). Season 1 begins with the Rat Patrol hunting for a supply of buried German ammunition — and hoping that the enemy doesn’t find it first.
