Synopsis for "Battle Brady"
Battle Brady and Socko Swenski are ordered to secure a position and to recon above a location called T-Bone Hill. However the job proves to be difficult as there are Chinese soldiers at the top who begin to roll grenades down on them. However, due to their sharpshooting skills, the two Americans manage to shoot enough of the rolling grenades that cause a chain reaction of explosions all the way up to the top of the Chinese soldiers, igniting all their explosives and killing them.
From the top of the hill they are able to observe that the Chinese have a bridge constructed and give it's position to their artillery cannons which succeed in blasting the bridge to pieces.
With their mission accomplished they begin heading down the hill when they are attacked by more Chinese soldiers, these ones on skis. They gun these soldiers down and use the skis as crude catapults to launch grenades at more advancing enemy soldiers. They then put on the skis and head down the hill, quickly avoiding a barbwire trap set by the last remaining soldiers.
When they report back to Captain Rocke they tell them about the ski soldiers they encountered and find themselves assigned to take ski combat lessons.

Synopsis for "Battle Brady"
Battle Brady and Socko Swenski are patrolling the snow topped mountains of Korea when they are ambushed by Manchuria Mary. They are surprised because they thought she and her minions were still prisoner back at the Bivouac, but learn that they had broken out in order to get revenge against Battle and Socko for their capture. The two Americans try to fight back against Mary and her female warriors, but are quickly knocked out and taken prisoner.
When they revive they find themselves tied up. Mary informs them that she and her minions are going to shoot at them to see who can get the closest without drawing blood. However, their continued shots create enough noise to cause an avalanche that kills Mary and her minions. Having slipped into a crevasse, Battle and Socko survive and free themselves. With Mary finally dead, the duo return to base.

Synopsis for "Battle Brady"
While on a recon mission Socko Swenski is apparently abandoned by Battle Brady when he is captured by Chinese soldiers. When he refuses to give any intelligence to the commanding officer, the Chinese official sentences him to death. Socko's legs are tired to two horses that will pull him apart, but before they can be set to run, Battle Brady shoots one of the ropes off, causing one of the horses to drag Socko away from the enemy base. Battle hops onto the back of the horse and slows it to a stop long enough for Socko to get on before the Chinese soldiers can catch up.
As they race the horse, the come into the path of an enemy tank, but the horse is able to jump over it. However, the horse no longer listens to Battle's commands and they are surprised when the horse brings them to an enemy fuel dump. Battle has Socko punch a hole in some barrels and then uses the horse to pull them, spreading gasoline across the dump. When Chinese soldiers catch them, Socko tosses his cigar onto the gasoline causing the enemy soldiers and the ammo dump to go up in flames.
Needing a fast escape, Battle forces Socko to recite the phrase "My Horse is my kingdom" 1000 times in order to get onto the horse for a quick getaway after he vowed never to get on a horse again.
