( theme song playing )

I'm sure you've all
seen Bruno here...

I mean, Battling Bruno,
train in camp, huh.

We have.

Yes, sir,
we've watched him.

Just what do you
think of him

as a fighter, huh?

His footwork's lousy,

he can't counterpunch,

his timing stinks
and he doesn't breathe properly.

But you like him
as a person.

He has a nice smile.

For your information,
Battling Bruno has won

his last 13 fights
by knockouts.

Was he fighting men
or girls, sir?

Ooh!

( chuckling ):
Fighting girls.

Were you?

Silence!

Now, here's the situation.

We have here the Luftstalag
Boxing Tournament

and as you can see, Battling
Bruno has reached the finals.

He was fighting girls.

He's scheduled to fight
Killer Kandisky, a guard at Stalag 9,

for the Luftwaffe
Championship on the 31st.

And on the 30th he goes
into hiding, right?

Now listen,
it is important

for the prestige
of Stalag 13

that he win
that championship.

Sergeant, I understand
that you are

an experienced fighter.

Oh, I don't know
about that, sir.

I just fought
in the Golden Gloves.

You will train Bruno
for the big fight.

Start at once.

HOGAN:
Hold it! Hold it!

There's nothing in the Geneva
Prisoner-of-War Convention

that requires a man to be
a sparring partner.

However, for certain
considerations...

What do you want, Hogan?

Extra half hour
of hot water per day,

some extra bread rations
at least once a month

and a few organized walks
in the countryside.

Some of the men are very
interested bird watchers.

Walks in the countryside, hmm?

( slams table )

So you can try escaping.

We've got to start
somewhere.

I can give you everything
but that.

Okay, Bruno has himself
a sparring partner.

Right, Kinch?

Sounds fair.

( phone rings )

Hello, Colonel Klink
speaking.

Heil Hitler.

Oh!

Oh, General Burkhalter.

How very nice
to hear from you.

What's that, sir?

Yes, sir, "shut up and listen,"
yes, sir.

Oh, you're arriving tonight

with Captain Stahl
and Major Rudel.

Yes, sir, your quarters
will be ready for you, yes, sir.

What?

Top secret meeting.

Get out of here!

Don't worry, sir,
I won't tell a soul.

Mm-hmm.

( in German accent ):
Where is Private Mueller?

Private Mueller,
Herr Leutnant?

Ja,

the man I ordered
to stand guard outside that door.

I didn't know we had
a Private Mueller, sir.

What about Schmidt?

Oh, we have
a Sergeant Schmidt, sir.

Ah, that's the man.

Where is he?

Off duty, I believe, sir.

Off duty?

Dummkopf!

He disobeyed my orders.

I will see he is transferred
to the Russian Front!

Yes, sir.

I will see his entire family
is transferred

to the Russian Front!

Now you go outside and take
his place outside that door.

I will stand here.

Jawohl, Herr Leutnant.

Quick march.

Eins, zwei, drei,

vier, eins, zwei,
drei, vier, eins,

zwei, drei, vier.

BURKHALTER:
Captain Stahl and Major Rudel here are assigned

to the Luftwaffe High Command,
the planning staff.

High Command?

Gentlemen, more cognac.

We are here on a rather
delicate matter--

internal service
politics.

You have certainly come
to the right man

for delicate matters.

( chuckles )

Your career is
a delicate matter.

BURKHALTER:
The British radar network

has been frustrating
our air attacks.

The captain and
the major here have a plan

for knocking them out.

Combined sabotage
and Stuka attacks.

Very carefully
coordinated.

Sounds good to me.

Based on my experiences,
they should work.

Thank you,
Colonel Klink.

Now, because of a few
senior officers,

the captain and the major
have not been able to get

a hearing for the plan.

I have suggested to commit this
idea to paper in full detail,

then I will take it
to Göring personally.

We need a place to work
for about a week...

( whispering ):
in absolute privacy.

They will be dealing
in top secret material:

strength of our first-line
units, airfield locations,

names of German agents in
England, all that sort of thing.

Can you accommodate
us, Colonel?

Oh, I shall be greatly honored.

I mean, if my small contribution
will help

to destroy the British radar,
that's all the reward I need.

Commandant, you are
a truly patriotic officer.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Oh, you might mention my name
to Reichsmarschall Göring,

if he likes the plan.

And they're going to work
in the VIP quarters.

Just around the corner.

Imagine the classified
information they need

for a plan like that.

Yeah, all those
secret goodies

sitting right on top
of our tunnel.

NEWKIRK:
They'll be guarding that building

like the bloody
Bank of England.

We'd only need ten,
maybe 15 minutes with a camera.

Some way to draw
those guards away from that building.

Maybe we could invite
them over

to watch
Battling Bruno train.

Oh, sure, they'll
leave their post.

Not very likely.

You know, your
average Nazi just isn't a boxing fan.

Well, hold it,
hold it, hold it.

Yeah.

They might not leave
to watch training,

but a real fight
could be something else.

When you're sparring
with Bruno,

do you think you
could lay him out?

Lay him out?

The problem's going
to be keeping him on his feet.

Herr Kommandant.

All equipment is in the building
as ordered.

Very good,
Sergeant Schultz.

Post a 24-hour guard,
your best men.

No unauthorized person
is to enter or leave that building.

Sir, there is no need
for you to worry about security.

I don't worry
about security.

It's you and Schultz
that keep me on edge.

I assure you...

Schultz...
excuse me, gentlemen.

You got some
smelling salts?

Smelling salts?

Yeah, your boy
Battling Bruno is clobbering Kinchloe.

Marvelous! Get
the smelling salts.

Kinch is supposed to be
the sparring partner,

not a punching bag.

That Bruno's a real killer.

That's the guard who will bring
the championship to Stalag 13.

Hey, Schultz, hurry it up!

A killer.

I'm glad someone
around here is dangerous.

I'd like to see
this myself.

Come on.

Schultz!

KLINK:
There he is, Herr General,

a great example of
a fighting man in action.

Hmm, what a specimen.

Ja, I wish he was
one of ours.

( bell dings )

I meant Battling Bruno,
not the prisoner.

You have visitors.

Yeah, so I see.

Mm-hmm.

You know what to do.

Uh-huh.

Next round.

Make it look good.

( bell dings )

He knows that we're here,

so he's going to try
and put on a show.

( onlookers calling out )

LeBEAU:
Give it to him.

Come on, Kinch.

HOGAN:
Beautiful.

( one person applauds )

Your Battling Bruno is
showing off, all right.

A lucky blow, that's all,
Herr General.

The smelling salt,
Herr... Kommandant.

Smelling salt!

Foul!

I saw it very clearly. Foul!

Foul!

Well, if I know Burkhalter,
we've got our fight.

Carter, save
two ringside seats

for Captain Stahl
and Major Rudel.

It was an accident.

Doesn't matter.

By now the news has traveled:

A German has been knocked out
by an American prisoner of war,

and a black American
prisoner of war at that.

Ah, let the news travel.

Who cares?

It may get to the Führer.

I care very much,
that's who cares.

But surely Hitler
wouldn't, I mean...

Do you recall the 1936
Olympics in Berlin?

An American, Jesse Owens--

every time he won
a gold medal,

Hitler left the stadium

rather than watch
the presentation.

But certainly Hitler
could not compare that to...

He'll manage,
don't worry.

Surely Battling Bruno
would not let himself be knocked out again.

Ja.

I keep my eyes open,
Herr Kommandant.

Ja, ja.

Not good enough.

We must even up the score.

It must be known a German can
beat an American at anything.

( clicks heels )

Klink!

Arrange a fight

between your champion here
and Sergeant Kinchloe.

And Klink, Bruno must win!

That's an order.

Well, I can't
guarantee that...

But you will.

You mean cheat?

Don't bother me
with details.

You'll knock him out

or you'll find yourself
fighting a Russian bear

for the Stalingrad Championship.

And guess who will be
in your corner,

shivering.

You mean a real fight?

Regulation gloves, no headgear?

Correct.

Marquess of Queensberry rules.

He was one of our chaps,
you know.

I don't know,
it's up to Kinch.

He's the one that's got
to do the fighting.

Sparring partner
is one thing,

but really fighting
that killer, I don't know.

You knocked him out.

Lucky shot,
Commandant.

Yeah, very lucky.

I saw the whole thing.

I believe I detect
a note of fear.

Colonel,

we've been together a long time.

I don't want to see Kinch hurt.

Right.
That Bruno's a slasher.

He puts me
in the mind of Max Schmeling.

Uh, sir, request
permission to speak.

Sic him, Andrew.

Well, sir, as you know,
an officer's duty is

to protect his men.

Now, if you let Kinch
fight that brute...

I won't order Kinch
to fight Bruno; I can't.

But, well, if he doesn't
accept the challenge,

I just hate the idea of
commanding Hogan's Cowards.

It's got a nice sound to it:
Hogan's Cowards.

I like it.

Well, what's the decision?

Well, I can't let
this side down.

Okay, I'll fight Bruno.

Are you out
of your mind?!

You haven't had
the kind of food...!

Back off,
fellas.

Kinch made up
his own mind.

Excellent.

Shall we say
Wednesday night?

Right, your boy
has a fight.

Good luck.

You'll need it.

Come on.

Oh, yeah.

Ha!

( grunts )

Hey, maybe I ought
to fight Bruno.

One, two,
three, four.

One, two,
three, four.

One, two,
three, four.

SCHULTZ:
Eins, zwei, drei, vier--

faster, faster,
schneller, schneller, schneller, schneller.

Eins, zwei,
drei, vier...

Ah, Bruno,
you're looking very good.

Herr Kommandant!

Danke, Kommandant.

Now, your orders are
to knock out Sergeant Kinchloe

in the first round.

( chuckles ):
That'll teach them a lesson about German superiority.

First round, sir?

I don't know if...

Now, uh... I have
something here

that will ensure
a first-round knockout.

Now, you will place

these insurance policies
in your gloves.

But Herr Kommandant,
this is cheating.

Schultz, all
is fair in war.

Herr Kommandant, as
sergeant of the Luftwaffe

and a man of honor,
I object!

Would you also object

as a private in
the Luftwaffe, huh?

This is going to be
a terrific fight!

Eins, zwei,
drei, vier.

Eins, zwei,
drei, vier.

The odds are now six to four.

Stay in line.

Keep moving.

CARTER:
Have your money ready, please.

Cash only--
no checks.

Right, the credit
department's on the roof.

Take the lift--
there you go.

All right, we'll put the
loudspeakers right about here.

That should draw the Krauts
away from the VIP building.

Uh-huh, that
should take the heat off LeBeau.

Fine.

Carter, you're going
to handle

volume control
from ringside.

I want you to start out high,
fade down low.

Newkirk'll tell you when.

Okay.

LeBeau, I figure

about 15 minutes
for the pictures, huh?

Oui-- the camera
is ready, Colonel.

Kinch, that means
the fight's got to go

at least six rounds--

no less.

If I have to carry
Bruno in my arms.

Loudspeaker,
w-what loudspeaker?

What, what, what?

General Burkhalter
asked us to set it up,

so the men on guard duty
could hear

a blow-by-blow
description.

Yeah, and Andrew will do
a bloody good job of it, too.

Yeah, he's
the announcer type.

You mean Carter is
going to broadcast on these?

Uh-huh.

Any objections?

Why didn't
Commandant Klink tell me about it?

I could have
set it up.

Well, he was looking for you,
big fella.

I was in the kitchen.

Grazing on liverwurst
again?

( chuckling )

Official business!

Schultz, it's about time
you got out of the kitchen

and into the war.

Loudspeaker system?

Jawohl,
Herr Kommandant.

Installed and ready.

I did it myself, just
like General Burkhalter ordered it.

General Burkhalter
ordered?

Oh... oh, yes,
yes, of course.

Just as General Burkhalter
ordered it.

And Carter's broadcast
will be enjoyed by every man on duty.

What?

Oh... oh, yes, indeed.

I-I'm sure it will.

Very good,
very good, Schultz.

Carry on.

It's a loudspeaker,
Herr General.

I know what
it is, Klink.

You know, they should
hear the broadcast very plainly.

Sergeant Carter is
an excellent announcer.

The more men who
hear it, the better.

Smart idea letting their
own man describe the fight.

Oh, I knew the setup
would satisfy you.

I supervised it myself.

Good thinking.

Is it possible I have
been underestimating you

all these years, Klink?

No, it's not possible.

( feedback comes
through loudspeaker )

MAN ( over loudspeaker ):
Testing-- one, two, three, four.

( applause, cheers,
conversation )

LeBEAU:
Ho, ho!

( exclaiming )

( bell ringing )

Good evening, gentlemen,

and a very warm "Heil Hitler"
to you all.

Now, the contest this evening
takes place

with the kind permission
of a man

whose brilliance is matched only
by his high rank.

I refer, of course,
to none other

than the one and only
General Burkhalter.

( boos and catcalls,
scattered applause )

Silence!

Any POW who gets out of line

will find himself in solitary
confinement on bread and water.

So... enjoy yourselves
and have a good time.

( bell rings three times )

Now... the contestants.

In this corner,
wearing black trunks at 205 pounds,

the pride of Stalag 13

and the champion of
all the Luftstalags, Battling Bruno.

( mixed boos and cheers )

Boo!

In the far corner,
at 195 pounds,

one of our most popular POWs,

Sergeant Kinchloe.

( raucous cheers and applause )

( bell rings once )

The referee
for tonight's contest

is Oberleutnant Herman
Schmelzer, Fourth Panzer Brigade

and at present
the president of the Düsseldorf Athletic Club.

( applause and boos )

The judges: General Burkhalter,
Captain Stahl, Major Rudel

and, of course,
your commandant.

( chuckles )

NEWKIRK:
All Nazi judges and a Kraut referee.

Has all the makings
of a fair fight.

( bell ringing )

KLINK:
I want a good, clean fight.

No gouging.

In case of
a knockdown,

you go to
the neutral corner.

Now shake hands.

When the bell rings,
you come out fighting.

Good luck
to you both.

May the best man--

( aside ):
Battling Bruno--

win.

Did you get
the insurance policies?

( metal clinks )

Good.

Don't forget--
first-round knockout.

( scattered applause )

( rings bell )

( audience conversing )

Guten Abend, sports fans.

This is Sergeant Andrew Carter
speaking to you ringside

here at Luftstalag 13
Sports Palace,

ready to bring you
a blow-by-blow detail

of this very, very great
contest.

The boys are in the center
of the ring now.

They're sparring around
just a little bit,

feeling each other out now.

Bruno looks like he can do some
real damage here this evening.

CARTER ( over loudspeaker ):
Well, I'd hate to be in there with him.

Friends, I just wish you could
be here with us.

There goes that Battling Bruno
now with a big uppercut!

And Kinchloe looks
like he's in trouble.

Bruno and Kinchloe
are going into a clinch,

the referee breaks it up.

There they go now.

Kinch backing away.

Bruno looks very, very good.

He tries... tries a left now
there, tries a left.

Bruno just caught Kinch there

with a big left hook
to the chin.

Kinch is on the deck
and the referee's counting now.

Five, six, seven,
eight, nine.

( rings bell )

( scattered applause,
conversation )

Hey, you're doing
a great job.

Great job, Kinch.

Could have
fooled me.

I thought
you were out.

You thought?

What'd you say your name was?

You're kidding.

That guy's got something
in his gloves

feels like
two Sherman tanks.

He really caught me.

Should have figured
on a double cross.

Stay out of his way,
get on your bicycle.

You can believe it.

Hey, suppose
he clips me again?

Then we're all going
to take the count,

in front of a firing squad.

Newkirk,

get going on the P.A.

Right, sir.

Excuse me, sir,
we've had a complaint

from the men in the compound.

It's not loud enough.

Well, let's do something
about it at once.

Yes, sir.

That should do it.

Good.

( rings bell )

CARTER:
And there goes the bell for round two.

Yes, sir, and now
Kinchloe's coming out

looking very fresh and ready.

Yes, sir, he is ready
for revenge.

He's circling around now,
keeping away

from that old Teutonic left hook
that laid him on the deck.

( barely audible ):
And Bruno takes a left to the body and a right.

And now he comes for the jab
to Kinchloe's head.

He's connected!

Wow, Kinchloe's now
shaking his head,

trying to clear it out,
but there's no chance.

Let me tell you something,
fight fans--

this Battling Bruno
can really hit.

He doesn't connect very often,
but when he does...

( camera clicks )

CARTER:
A left, a right, another left and now another right.

Oh, boy, they're
in a clinch now.

Now they're separated
by the referee,

Oberleutnant Herman Schmelzer.

Now they're backing away
and now Kinchloe's...

What is this?

You're supposed to be on duty.

GUARD:
Back to your posts!

Schnell, both
of you, move!

( door opens )

( door closes )

Now Kinchloe's slowed down

just a little bit now
from the pressure

from that bruising, brutish
Battling Bruno.

What a fight this has been.

Yes, sir, I wish you folks
out there in Krautland

could have been here
with us this evening

because we've really seen
ourselves some battle.

Ooh, and Kinchloe is down.

That battling Bruno caught him
again with that big left hook.

This could be curtains
for Kinchloe now.

...Four,

five...

( rings bell )
Schultz, isn't it exciting?

( panting )

I'm sorry, Colonel.

LeBeau's not finished--
he's not back yet.

( breathing hard )

Okay... ( clears throat )

back on the bicycle.

( cheers and exclamations )

( no voice )

Look out for that
bloody uppercut!

NEWKIRK:
Stick him, Kinch!

MAN:
That a boy!

NEWKIRK:
Stick him! Stick him!

Now, Kinch, now!

( men cheering )

Stop the fight!

Stop the fight!

We give up! We give up!

KINCH:
But Colonel!

I just couldn't stand by seeing
you take this punishment, Kinch.

I'm sorry, it's just inhuman.

One minute and ten seconds
of the seventh round,

the winner and champion of
Stalag 13, Battling Bruno.

( mixed cheers and boos )

You know this loss
is costing us a bloody fortune.

Worth every penny
for the pictures I got.

Don't worry, we'll put it on
the expense account to London.

Hey, didn't I pay you once?

Hey, Fritz, come...!

Hey, listen now, any of you
Nazis trying to collect twice,

you're going to get
in serious trouble.

I mean it.

You, Sergeant Kinchloe,
put up a great fight.

Thank you, General.

But the superiority
of the master race

will tell every time.

And Battling Bruno is
still champion of Stalag 13.

Uh, I'd like to be the one
to tell him that, sir...

as soon as he wakes up.

Which should be
in a day or so.
