Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCol. Klink's office window is not frosted which it usually is, and the window outside across the building is still frosted. The telephone pole is missing when Hogan tells Klink his auto parts are missing but shows up later.
- GoofsA telephone pole is visible immediately outside Colonel Klink's office window, and LeBeau climbs it. A pole in that location would have had to be installed right through the wooden decking outside the building, and then extend up through the overhanging roof, a very unlikely position for a utility pole. The pole did not appear in any other episodes and was necessary only for action taking place in this one.
- Quotes
Col. Robert E. Hogan: Have you got everything straight?
Sgt. Andrew Carter: [dressed as Klink] Maybe you better run through it once more. Klink isn't too bright, you know.
[laughs. LeBeau glares at him]
Sgt. Andrew Carter: At 9:55, I go into the station master, and I tell him I have this package that has to go out on the Berlin Express. It's of great military importance.
Col. Robert E. Hogan: And if he asks any questions?
Sgt. Andrew Carter: I yell and scream at him, call him a few twelve-letter names, and if he still gives me an argument, I... think of something else.
Col. Robert E. Hogan: Carter, you overpower him quickly and quietly.
Sgt. Andrew Carter: I think it's much safer to think of something else.
Cpl. Peter Newkirk: Andrew, the station master is a little old man.
Sgt. Andrew Carter: Uh-huh, and sometimes little old men have big old guns.
Col. Robert E. Hogan: Carter, civilians aren't allowed to carry firearms, and besides Kinch'll be outside if you need any help.

In the meantime, Hogan is given the task of blowing up a train delivering plane parts that just happens to be in the area. Hogan has a plan of Carter dressing up as Klink to get out of the camp. But when Herber sees Klink's car driving away, he calls Hochstetter with the news that Klink is a traitor. The Gestapo descends on the prison camp and our devoted Commandant is in hot water.
This episode started out rather slow with little happening during the first half. But it picked up nicely after Schultz and Hogan have to wake up Klink. From the slow beginning it developed into an entertaining show. Good watch.
