A military hero becomes circumspect as his wife expects their first child. In battle, he jumps into a protective hole instead of forging to the front of the line. His company nicknames him Yellowbelly, and he loses the respect of his men.
An officer in the Korean War is considered a coward by his men after ducking into a manhole during a charge. His solders don't realize what a hero he was during WWII, or that his expectant wife is about to give birth. The new battalion commander relieves him of his duty, but he doesn't accept the decision.—Jay Phelps <jaynashvil@aol.com>
