Hilarity finds a home in the most unlikely of places -- a World War II German POW camp -- in this 1960s comedy series. Bob Crane stars as Col. Robert Hogan an irascible wise guy who leads his fellow prisoners in a variety of mad escape plots. The butts of the jokes are the starched-stiff Germans particularly Col. Wilhelm Klink (Werner Klemperer) whose exasperated cry of Hogan! became one of the shows many repeatable catchphrases.
