Episode Summary
EDIT
The German officers also manage to escape on their own, so now Rene has a million francs and nothing to do with it. Gruber thinks it would be safer in his trouser's than in Rene's, so he trades the paintings in his trousers for the francs in Rene's. Meanwhile, the two leaders of the Communist Resistance are on the run, and both decide independently to take cover in Cafe Rene. Rene agrees to hide Denise, and Edith takes on Louise as Rene's musical scheme gets its first tryout, only to have Leclerc mix up the records and make Edith sing Ol' Man River.
