Hogan's Heroes: Klink vs. the Gonculator (1968)
Season 4, Episode 2
8/10
An ending so far-fetched you had to laugh.
25 August 2014
This episode takes a turn for the silly as Carter is building a rabbit trap with spare parts from the Stalag. When Schultz sees the contraption, they tell him that it is a Gonculator (a name made up). All of the sudden Klink and Burkhalter are interested in the useless machine thinking it is some kind of secret weapon. And they go ahead and let the men build the 'gonculator' and then take credit for the capture.

The reason that Hogan's men are going for such a large ruse is that Major Lutz, who is a expert in electronics, is in charge of building bomb devises and want to escape Germany. Hogan will try to get Lutz to make a visit to the Stalag so an escape can be made.

There are some nice parts like when Klink and Burhalter will not admit that they never heard of a 'gonculator'. Even the ending is so far-fetched that it becomes funny that no German thought to investigate. Not the best episode but nice to watch.
