Rene opens the show by trying to brick himself up in the wall to hide because the Germans will blame him for the mixup with the generals. Everyone else feels the same way and tries to join Rene in the brick-up, but Michelle shows up to reward him with a medal (for helping to capture the generals), and a suicide pill (to prevent him from talking). Luckily (or unluckily), the fish lorry hit a mine crater and the German generals end up back in Berlin. Von Klinkerhoffen decides to blame the fiasco on Von Strohm and will send the Colonel and Gruber off to the Russian front - but the two officers decide to hide in the Vatican, buying their way to safety in Rome by recovering and selling the paintings. They therefore force Rene to attempt to recover the paintings from the headquarters of the Communist Resistance, and Michelle shows up to tell Rene that the paintings he recovers must be sold for the Resistance funds! She, at least, has a plan to recover them, involving Rene masquerading as a Franciscan vicar wheeling a pram, with Mimi posing as a baby in the pram!

Unfortunately, Flick has come up with the same plan - with him posing as the baby in the pram and Helga as a nurse. Gruber and the Italian army take the direct approach, charging upon the HQ, and getting captured by the Communists. Meanwhile, Rene finds the paintings, and is himself found by Denise Laroque who vows to never let him go again...

      • Edith: Oh Captain Alberto, you know how to turn a girl's head. Rene: And a man's stomach. Bertorelli: Maybe after the war we make many little Albertos, huh? Edith: Oh, Captain! Rene: (turns to camera) If she can remember the recipe.

      • Bertorelli: Make-a the charge! (the soldiers growl at the captain who is right in the path of the bayonet-wielding troops) Bertorelli: (the troops charge and he runs for his life) Bloody hell.

      • Helga: I am taking my little baby Diddums for a stroll. Guard: Do not tell me you found zat on a doorstep. Flick: (removing his dummy) My name is Otto Flick of the Gestapo. One more crack like zat and you will be shot with the pistol concealed in my dolly.

      • Bertorelli: This-a terrible news! You tell that General Klinkerhoffen from me, if he do this to my friends, we, the Italian army will not invade England. Gruber: Yes, I am not sure that this would worry the General too drastically.

      • Lieutenant Gruber: What about Helga? We promised to cut her in. Colonel Von Strohm: We will cut her out. They don't like women in the Vatican. Lieutenant Gruber: It sounds quite an amusing place.

      • René: A suicide pill? Michelle: Take it without delay. René: What happened to the bright flame that will never die? Michelle: You know too much. When they arrest you in connection with the disappearance of the generals, they will torture you. You may reveal my identity. René: Well then, why do you not take it and then it will not matter?

      • Rene (trying not to take the suicide pill given to him by Michelle): I am not taking this pill - Edith, help me! Edith: I will get you a glass of water!
