Episode 1
Having been shot down in October 1940, RAF Sgt. Jim Caddon finds himself incarcerated in in a German POW camp, Stalag XXXIX. Caddon is a bit of a hot heat and doesn't take well to being imprisoned nor does he like the attitude of the POW's senior officer, Capt. Baladi, who orders him not to attempt to escape. Gradually, Caddon begins to realize that there is method to their madness and helps with the planned escape of Sam Shanklin. The plan is to infest their hut with fleas and hide Shanklin in the mattress when they are taken away for de-lousing.
