We're close to the finish line...
- LaBeau in one of his many former lives was a fortune teller--or at least that's the scam in "The Gypsy". There's a scene in the barracks with a fake rainstorm outside--it sounds like they had to "loop" all the dialogue.
- German scientists become "The Dropouts" so they can escape to England. Semi-regulars John Stephenson and Ben Wright play the scientists. Hogan and the boys give them a hand, along with Hochstedder (unknowingly, via his car trunk). I love how the cast knows a lot about atomic bombs prior to the end of the war.
- Burkhalter gets Hogan to steal a P-51 fighter-bomber from England for $1M in "Easy Come, Easy Go". It starts with a party including Cynthia Lynn (Klink's first secretary in a cameo), and ends with the capture of Nazi spies. Klink goes along for the ride. There's a great process shot through a window--it's like they're showing The History Channel outside.
- For the five hundredth time, a spy comes into Stalag 13 as a supposed prisoner. This time, Hogan and the boys double-cross him, take his place at a big Nazi meeting, then scam him into thinking he's in Berlin, so he can divulge his contact there. There's a great bit from Dawson and Hovis playing a German family on the phone, and another where they play Hitler and his secretary. It's all in "The Meister Spy".
- An master spy for the Allies needs penicillin to save his life, so what can Hogan and the boys do? Have Newkirk dress as a woman and go to a Nazi tea party, of course. They use him as a courier to get the penicillin out--"That's No Lady, That's My Spy". We finally get to meet Mrs. Burkhalter (Diana Chesney), while 60's TV mainstay Alice Ghostley plays another of the women.
- Ruta Lee makes her third Hogan appearance--this time as a spy. A Nazi wanting to get out of the Russian Front blackmails Hogan, so he brings her in to convince Klink to swap places, so that the boys can take a peek at secret papers. Of course, they also double-cross the Nazi. That complicated enough for you? It's "To Russia Without Love". There's a crash scene that's practically "F-Troopian".
