Overview : A visiting general has secret documents in a briefcase handcuffed to his wrist. At a dinner party, the heroes keep the general distracted (by the lovely Helga) and detained (by Klink's awful violin solo) long enough for Newkirk to pick the lock and retrieve the documents. Hogan's plan to get the documents out of camp involves convincing Klink that Germany is losing the war so he'll allow two German officers to film the friendly atmosphere of Stalag 13. The filmmakers, really escaping RAF (Royal Air Force) officers in disguise, leave camp with the document hidden inside their phony movie camera.
