A new Allied radar must not fall into German hands.
kfo94944 September 2014
When an Allied plane is shot down near the prison camp, Hogan learns that the plane was carrying a new type of radar. Since the plane did not burn, the German will get the new radar and be able to jam most transmissions.

The Germans send Doctor Wolfgang Becker, a brilliant specialist in electronics, to the wreck site to inspect the plane. Sure enough he finds the radar and has packaged it for a trip to Berlin to be studied.

While reading the Becker's file, the only vice the man has is he is a constant gambler. And with the disguise of making money for the German winter clothing drive, Hogan gets Klink to open a casino type gambling club that will serve as a platform for Hogan to stop the shipment of the radar to Berlin.

With so many scripts being repeated, it was nice to see a fresh story added to the series. It may have been far-fetched but at least we are getting new concept to enjoy. Giving this an extra star just for the effort.
