S1E12 The Prisoner

Dec 25, 1962 Season 1 Episode 12 Drama

While serving as Lt. Hanley's runner, Braddock gets "requisitioned" by a brash and domineering colonel to be his jeep driver. Unfortunately, the colonel insists on taking the wheel himself, and his reckless driving leads to an accident that leaves both men unconscious. When Braddock comes to, he finds himself in the hands of a German patrol. However, since he's wearing the colonel's coat—put on for warmth during the colonel's wild ride—the Germans mistakenly believe he is a colonel, and no matter what Braddock says or does, he can’t convince them otherwise.
