Not too many laughs in this tale.

When Hogan gets a late night communication from the allies, he learns that a crate of bullet-proof vest have arrived but is unsure to whom they belong.

A few days later a French officer, Dubois, arrives at the gates of the camp to turn himself into the Germans for capture. Dubois is working for the French underground and they are the ones that the vest are for. But Hogan has to think of a way to get the French officer and the bullet-proof vest out of the Stalag, where both are tightly held. When Klink and Burkhalter get together you know a plan is afoot.

The story was nice but the funny lines were few and far between. Even when the Hogan plan worked it seemed odd that a Frenchman riding around with a crate of bullet-proof vest would not be detected before making their way across enemy lines. But that is the great thing about sitcoms, they don't have to make sense. But I would have loved for this sitcom to have been more humorous than the way it played. After viewing it just felt dull.

Warning: Spoilers
How to get a Frenchman from the underground back to them safely is the theme of this episode.

Hysterical how the latter man is supposed to have been a plumber and fix the sink that has been sabotaged by the crew. In the meantime, another goal is to get bullet proof vests to the allies and this is what Dubois, our Frenchman, is supposed to do.

Funny that the stupid Nazis immediately take credit for the making of the vests. When it comes to the matter, the idiot Klink and even Buchalter are immediately ready to take such credit.

Amazing how Hogan and the group are literally able to come and go as the please and in the process create further havoc for the dimwit commanders of Stalag 13.
