Black Sheep Squadron

TV Rated: Not Rated (most likely TV-PG or TV-14)

Vella la Cava is taken over by the Japanese, in anticipation of a surprise visit from General MacArthur.

The morning starts out as TJ and Casey go fishing before the camp is taken over. The rest of the camp sleeps, except for Anderson and Hutch. They hear Meatball making noises in the jungle and go to investigate. The noise wakes Pappy, but it's too late. Everyone is awakened by the Japanese soldiers and herded into the sheep pen. Pappy does what he can to warn TJ and Casey by turning the squadron flag upside down and playing reveille.

As TJ and Casey return to camp, they discover the Japanese. TJ overhears their plans to capture General MacArthur and creates a diversion so Casey can get to his plane and try to warn the general. He makes it into the air and tries to send a message, but it's garbled and MacArthur's plane can't read him. Soon after, Casey is attacked by zeros and has to jump before the message was delivered.

On the ground, the Japanese commando in charge grabs Gutterman and puts him in front of a firing squad. As they're about to shoot, a message comes in from MacArthur's plane. General Moore asks Boyington if he has a pilot in trouble as they had picked up a distress. Boyington says no, and saves Gutterman's life in the process.

The Japanese force the squadron to march to the airstrip to meet MacArthur's plane. TJ, still hiding out in the jungle, manages to steal some grenades and machine gun bullets and creates another diversion. It sounds like gunfire, so the Japanese are confused. The plane lands and out comes a marine squadron firing on the Japanese and forcing them to surrender. The Marine commander walks over to talk to Boyington. He explains that Casey was picked up by air/sea rescue and explained the situation. They diverted MacArthur's plane and brought in a marine squadron from Rendova to help the Black Sheep.
