Hogan's Heroes season 2 episode 20 follows Colonel Hogan and his group of Allied prisoners of war as they continue to run their covert operations from within the confines of their Nazi imprisonment. The episode titled "Hogan and the Lady Doctor" focuses on a new arrival to Stalag 13, a female doctor named Dr. Cora Brown.
Dr. Brown is a member of the Red Cross and is assigned to work in the German prisoner of war camp. Her arrival coincides with a new mission for Colonel Hogan and his team. They are tasked with obtaining a new high-frequency radio from the Germans, which they plan to use to communicate with Allied forces in the area.
Dr. Brown becomes a crucial ally for Hogan's team when they learn that she is a pacifist and does not agree with the Nazi regime. Hogan and his team hatch a plan to convince Dr. Brown to help them obtain the radio.
Throughout the episode, Hogan employs his usual tactics of charm and deception to gain the trust of Dr. Brown. He convinces her that the radio is needed to transport injured prisoners of war to a hospital safely. Dr. Brown agrees to help Hogan in his mission, and the team sets out to obtain the radio.
The team's mission is complicated when they are caught by German soldiers and brought before Colonel Klink. However, Dr. Brown's charm and quick thinking allow Hogan and his group to escape. Hogan and Dr. Brown even manage to retrieve the high-frequency radio from Klink's office.
As the episode comes to a close, Hogan and Dr. Brown celebrate their successful mission. Dr. Brown confides in Hogan that she is not a pacifist by choice, but rather because she cannot bear the thought of killing other human beings. Hogan assures her that she has helped the war effort in her own way by aiding prisoners of war.
