Sgt. Andrew Carter: I hate to say this, Colonel, but I don't see any way we're going to get our hands on that briefcase.
Col. Robert E. Hogan: You're right, the situation is hopeless, there's no solution, we're faced with an absolute impossibility.
Cpl. Peter Newkirk: In that case, sir, why don't you tell us what you've thought of?

Featured review
The script needed a re-write
This is kind of a silly episode when for some reason a man, Julius Schlager, comes into camp with some very secret documents for Hitler, (why he would come to a prison camp is beyond me) Anyway he has the briefcase with the information chained to his wrist. But when a parachute is found in the prison camp, they suspect that someone has landed to steal the briefcase. So they hid the briefcase in Klink's safe.
And as you might guess, Hogan now has to get the briefcase out of the safe and then return it before Julius Schlager leaves the camp. That is when the show took a ridiculous turn as Newkirk will break into the safe while nearly the entire German staff is in the room. And it gets even more pathetic when the briefcase is returned.
The plot was not bad but the way the viewer is suppose to take the action is down-right silly. This script needed some new ideas but ended up with a ludicrous afterthought. Just to far-fetched to believe.
