This certainly goes for LeClerc, after the Colonel tips off Herr Flick that a man with feathers on his hat (of course he means Bertorelli) has the missing Franks Flick is looking for down his trousers.
Of course Bertorelli arrives at the cafe too soon telling Edith: "I want to taka you upstairs, pulla down my trousers, and give you ze one million francs."
So when LeClerc arrives disguised as a "wandering pillow stuffer" with feathers on his hat, he gets arrested.
This episode also contains one of the silliest escape plans the resistance thought up to get the British Airmen back to London. They emptied out land mines which are going to be dropped over London. The Airmen must "unscrew their nuts" in time to jump out of them before they hit. And of course, no one wonders why the Germans would drop _land_mines!moreless
Episode Summary
EDIT
Having escaped from the hospital, Ren is left making his way back to the cafe in a hospital gown, which opens up the back. Gruber unexpectedly arrives and - amused by the backless hospital gown - informs him Alphonse has been killed by the exploding bedpan. Yvette is happy Ren is back but as usual Edith catches them in each others arms. The excuse this time is that Yvette is faint from the anaesthetic on the operating gown. Helga is surprised to learn from Herr Flick that the stolen Gestapo money were fake. Meanwhile, Herr Flick figures Alphonse had the money so he sends Von Smallhausen off to Alphonse's mortuary (posing as a corpse). Helga tells Von Strohm that the money are fake so they put them into Bertorelli's pants for him to return to Ren. However, Von Strohm double-crosses Bertorelli and anonymously calls Herr Flick and says the money are in the pants of a man with feathers in his hat. Michelle has come up with a new "ingenious" escape plan for the airmen: put them inside giant land mines (emptied of explosive), drop them over England and have the airmen "unscrew their nuts" to leap out in midair and land safely with parachutes. No one are particularly impressed by this plan. Denise, Louise and the rest of the Communists vote to leave for a safehouse in Abbville. Louise promises Ren to kill Denise, take control of the Communists and return for him. Bertorelli makes it to the Caf and with the money, which gets hidden in the oven. Leclerc brings the parachutes for the escape plan while wearing another "brilliant" disguise as a pillow-stuffer. Unfortunately, he has feathers in his hat and he gets arrested by Herr Flick, who of course thinks he's got the money.moreless
