In this episode, Burhalter's sister, Gertrude Linkmeyer (this time played by Alice Ghostly), makes a return visit to camp with her loving eyes on Klink. And as always Klink is trying to think of way to dump this women but not make General Burkhalter upset. It's a balancing act that always needs the help of Hogan.
There is also a situation where Hogan and his men need to sabotage a railroad train that will be heading near the camp. They have already placed most of the explosions on the rails but it all needs to be hooked-up. Hogan will have to find a way to leave the camp and make ready the blast. He will have to use the problem with Klink to his advantage.
Even though most of the time when the General's sister makes a visit it means that the episode will have a high entertainment value. However, this time Gertrude is played by Alice Ghostly and not by the usual Kathleen Freeman. For what ever reason, Ms Ghostly just did not seem right for the part. Perhaps we have are accustom to seeing the larger frame Kathleen Freeman in the part and getting her way even by force if need be-- but Ghostly seemed out-of-place. Nothing really wrong with the story just did not set right with the casting.
