The TV gets turned back on and we are in the middle of an invasion by unidentified enemy planes from the People’s Army. They bring WWIII to American soil in the form of an A-bomb attack and invading paratroopers dressed in American uniforms. These actions are shown in this cheapie film by using stock newsreel footage for a good part of the film. The results are the wiping out of most of the state of Washington, the bombing of Boulder Dam, a third of NYC quarantined because of radiation while suffering 30,000 fatalities and 50,000 injuries, sporadic attacks throughout various parts of the country, and all the bar patrons but for the bartender and Ohman are killed. During the extended emergency the military fights back and launches its own more powerful A-bomb attack, and predicts success despite getting caught unprepared. Potter attempts to join each branch of the service but is turned down because they don’t have enough equipment to supply the new recruits. The suddenly patriotic reporter is frustrated over how inadequately prepared the country is to defend itself, but gets some pleasure out of romancing the now equally patriotic Red Cross nurse Carla, donating blood for the war effort, and knowing America will defeat these dirty rats (they seem to be Commies who talk like Nazis!).
