The MBT-70 (for Main Battle Tank of the 1970s), a 50-ton monster (approximate cost: $600,000) jointly designed and built by West Germany and the U.S., is touted to be the ultimate in the next generation of heavy tanks. It can dash 400 miles at a top speed of 42 m.p.h. without refueling (v. 100 miles and 18 m.p.h. by the Panzer IVs of Rommel's famed Afrika Korps).

Finally, there is a farmer's daughter (Sue Lyon). The drifter steals her car-and falls in love with her. Too late, he decides to go straight. Before he can turn himself in to the MP's, the sheriff catches up with the two tricksters and claps them into jail. There Sarrazin realizes that a cage will kill the old buzzard, and risks his life and love in an attempt to spring the Flim...
