HOGAN'S HEROES: THE INFORMER {SERIES PREMIERE} (TV)

Summary

The premiere of this comedy series set in a Nazi prison camp during World War II. In this episode, Col. Robert Hogan and the rest of the prisoners of Stalag l3 are preparing to help a fugitive escape from Germany. Plans are put on hold when a spy is slipped into their camp. When the spy learns of their plot, the prisoners decide to let him see everything, including the underground counterfeiting shop, steam room, and barber shop. The only detail they keep secret is the location of the entire operation. The spy informs Colonel Klink, the inept commandant of the camp, but because he has no proof and his story is so outlandish, the colonel thinks his spy is crazy. Commercials deleted.
