Hochstetter has just rounded up leader of the underground movement and taken them to Stalag 13. Hogan knows that this will cause a void in the underground if they cannot escape. But Hochstetter has doubled the guard after a failed escape and now the only way the leaders are going to see freedom is if the war comes to an end.
That is exactly what Hogan is going to make Klink and Hochstetter to believe. Hogan and his men set up some phony radio messages and a crank phone call to make the Germans think the war has come to an end. Hogan is hoping that Hochstetter will release the underground prisoners as a good jester show by the Gestapo.
This was a humorous show that had lots of laughs. Howard Caine, as Hochstetter, is at his best in this performance as the Gestapo Major will end up in some serious trouble with the boys back in Berlin. An all out funny episode that was entertaining from beginning to end.
Note- Larry Hovis does not appear in this episode. His lines were filled by William Christopher playing a prisoner named Thomas.
