No beach party for Frankie

Here&apos;s a guest star who storms in and takes over the show, not unlike an earlier episode this third season with Mickey Rooney. Frankie Avalon&apos;s big personality is truly overbearing, as he shows up in the squad as a kid from Kirby&apos;s hometown with something hanging over his head -namely Frankie&apos;s brother died saving Kirby&apos;s life.

Though a popular performer, Avalon was never taken very seriously as an actor, even among singers of his time like Fabian and Bobby Rydell, but he&apos;s terrific in this plum assignment. Starting off as a light-hearted diversion, it develops darker moments as the boys encounter a large German force under their reconnaissance.

Recalling a memorable Mike Kellin episode, this story examines how one soldier can manipulate another, often threatening the cohesion of the entire squad, especially given the life and death circumstances of their patrols.

But a strong plot twist has Frankie sealing his own fate with a foolhardy move. There&apos;s plenty of suspense generated here, as dangers increase exponentially.

Private Eddie Cain has somehow finagled his way to be assigned to Kirby's squad, and he immediately gloms onto his old buddy, "Wild Man" Kirby, and begins making demands of him. Cain believes his brother, Tony, and Kirby were best of friends and that Tony was killed in their old hometown while saving Kirby's life. Accordingly, Cain also believes Kirby owes him a great personal debt in the form of Kirby's attention and protection. The cocky Cain immediately provokes the hostility of the rest of the squad, and Kirby has to continually make excuses for him. Cain keeps taking foolish actions, and he is unable to come to grips with his shortcomings until Kirby finally tells him the truth about how his brother Tony was killed back home.
