520    "As the Red Army closes in on the Third Reich, a German 
       colonel sends an American intelligence officer an unusual 
       report about a POW camp soon to be overrun by the Soviets.
       Locked up, the report says, are over a thousand horses, 
       including the entire herd of white Lipizzaners from 
       Vienna's Spanish Riding School, as well as Europe's finest
       Arabian stallions--stolen to create an equine "master 
       race." The horses are worth millions and, if the starving 
       Red Army reaches the stables first, they will kill the 
       horses for rations. The Americans, under the command of 
       General George Patton, whose love of horses was legendary,
       decide to help the Germans save the majestic creatures. "-
