Combat!: The Prisoner (1962)

Synopsis of Combat!: The Prisoner

Pvt. Braddock (Shecky Greene) is strongarmed into serving as jeep driver for Froggy Clyde (Keenan Wynn, a brash, bullying American colonel. Circumstances dictate that Braddock don Clyde's field jacket--at which point he is mistaken for the colonel and captured by the Germans, who hope to exchange him for imprisoned Nazi general Hoffman. The canny Clyde decides to go through with the prisoner exchange, adding a wry twist of his own. The episode's highlight finds the opportunistic Braddock rather enjoying the preferential treatment that he receives from the German as a captured "officer." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
