Ken Berry stars as a WW2 pilot who is shot down over German.  He is hidden by a Baroness (Eva Gabor), who falls in love (lust) with him. She plots to hide the news that the war is over so that he will not leave her.

The film is a little cheesy, but fun.   The cast has some memorable guest stars ( Werner Klemperer, Jim Backus).  The plot is predictable and was incorporated into one of the origin stores on Green Acres.

The film is available via Amazon.
