Episode Summary
EDIT
Michelles newest hairbrained scheme of getting the airmen out will of course need 80 meters of suspenders, and its Rens job to get them from every Frenchman in Nouvion, which he does under the noses of the Colonel and the Captain through his newly founded brotherhood of the Nightowl.
Herr Flick and Helga arrive in his staff car to spy on the show, and The Colonel and the Captain arrive in a steamroller, also to spy on whats happening - and the result is pretty obvious, which prevents them from see the spectacular failure of the launching of the airmen. The suspenders that was supposed to drag the plane up in the air with a car backfires, sending Ren backwards at breakneck speed.moreless
