VO: "Telenews cameraman Wade Bingham accompanies a United Nations force in Korea on its drive to the north. The advance is slowed by communist fire. American and Greek troops move up to reinforce forward units. Progress is painfully slow. This time U.N. forces avoid the main roads, take mountain paths instead... One American outpost guard died under fire. The Greek company of 200, which beat back 3000 Chinese with rifle butts, grenades and bayonets, is exhausted. This is a scene encountered by the advancing 8th Army, in a village recently held by the foe. Civilians shot with their hands tied behind them. Proof of communist atrocities mounts."
