Episode Summary
EDIT
Realizing that the two airmen will be recognized right away, Michelle of the Rsistance comes up with another hairbrained scheme of digging a tunnel from Monsieur Alphonse's morgue into the prisoner of war camp and smuggling in the two airmen into the camp.
To get the airmen to Monsieur Alphonse, Edith comes up with a typical French Saturday pastime: a fandango festival which ends in the husband running away with two ladies of the night and the wife killing them. Using the Captain's gun, loaded with blanks, madame Edith "kills" the two airmen dressed as hookers in front of a shocked Captain Geering.moreless
