Bilko hears that Bing Crosby will be passing through Kansas by car on his way from New York City to Hollywood. He calls Bing's office and gets him to agree to stop and make an appearance at Fort Baxter.

Bilko finds out that the visit has been canceled, the day before Bing Crosby is supposed to visit the base. Bilko has already sold more than $500 worth of tickets for Bing's appearance. He doesn't know what to do until he spots a guy who looks kind of like Bing Crosby.

Bilko hires Chester, the Bing Crosby-lookalike, to pretend to be Bing. The real Bing shows up in the end.

Stalag 17 (1953)

starring William Holden

directed by Billy Wilder

Dec 1944 - Two of the US sergeants quartered in Barracks 4 of Stalag 17 attempt to escape. They don't get very far. They only make it just outside the gate when they are shot by a trio of German soldiers.

Life goes on in Barracks 4. The Americans sense that someone in their barracks must be giving information to the Germans but they aren't sure who it is. This fact is confirmed, 35 minutes into the movie, but their identity is not revealed at that time.

J.J. Sefton (William Holden) doesn't get along with most of his colleagues. He trades in cigarettes. He bet against his two dead compatriots making it very far. He becomes very unpopular after a secret radio is found by the Germans. Sefton was no where to be found at the time.

Sefton's colleagues break into his foot locker and find all kinds of goodies. They learn that he bribed his way into a visit with some Russian women prisoners at the time the radio was stolen. They are convinced that he is the informant. More circumstantial evidence leads them to believe they are correct about Sefton. They beat him up, take his stuff, but Sefton continues to insist that he isn't the informant.
