Hogan's Heroes season 1 episode 30, titled "Cupid Comes to Stalag 13", is a humorous and light-hearted entry into the show's first season. As with many episodes of Hogan's Heroes, the plot hinges on the clever schemes of Colonel Hogan and his fellow American prisoners of war, as they work to outsmart their Nazi captors.
The episode begins with Hogan and his men receiving a surprise visit from a beautiful female spy named Lily Frankel, who brings with her a mission from the underground resistance. The group is tasked with stealing a top secret document from the German army headquarters, and as always, Hogan is up for the challenge.
However, this episode also has another plot line running parallel to the main mission: the arrival of a new prisoner at Stalag 13, a young and handsome soldier named Lieutenant James Carter. Carter catches the eye of a number of female prisoners, including Hogan's secretary, Hilda, and it quickly becomes apparent that the young lieutenant has a way with the ladies.
As the two storylines progress, it becomes clear that both missions - the theft of the secret document and the pursuit of Carter's affections - will collide in unexpected ways. Hogan and his men must navigate their usual array of obstacles - including German soldiers, Nazi officers, and the ever-watchful eye of the camp commandant, Colonel Klink - in order to achieve their goals.
Along the way, the episode delivers plenty of the witty banter and hijinks that are hallmarks of Hogan's Heroes. There are several hilarious scenes featuring Carter and the ladies of the camp, as well as some genuinely funny moments as Hogan and his crew work to outsmart the Germans. The episode also includes a number of tense and suspenseful moments, as the group tries to stay one step ahead of their captors.
Overall, "Cupid Comes to Stalag 13" is a classic episode of Hogan's Heroes, combining humor, action, and clever scheming in a way that will delight fans of the show. It is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys the series' unique blend of comedy and drama.
