Stalag 13, a German prisoner-of-war camp officially run by the naive and inept Colonel Wilhelm Klink and his obese, bumbling assistant, Sergeant Hans Schultz. Unofficially, events and camp life are manipulated by Colonel Robert Hogan, U.S. Army Corps, senior officer in camp. Assisted by inmates LeBeau, Newkirk, Carter, Kinchloe, and Baker. Hogan, under the code name Papa Bear, conducts vital missions for the allies.
Through phone taps, underground escape routes, radio contacts, and custom tailoring, the prisoners assist Allied fugitives and secure top-secret information for their superiors.
