The Colonel & the Captain and Herr Flick are all disguised as onion sellers while the German uniforms are being remade by the Jewish tailors of London. Michelle delivers a bottle of nitro-glycerin disguised as a bottle of Bols Gin to hide in the Cafe until they come to fetch it that night to blow up a German railway. But thinking it's gin, Edith begins spreading the nitro around - to her mother and the hens in the back. Although they attempt to get their spare uniforms, the Colonel and the Captain find that they have been sent to Paris for cleaning and are not available. Which makes them desperate, as they have found out that General Von Klinkerhoffen, the famously hard-nosed German General, is coming to visit the next morning.
The German officers insist on joining Rene and company when they go out on their expedition that night - the Resistance is heading out to blow up the railway with the gin, but first they intend to rendezvous with a plane from England, which is reportedly bringing the new German uniforms, and will take back the painting (to be forged) and the two airmen (effecting their escape). Luckily, the Germans being along is a help when they need to get past an unexpected sentry; unluckily, the plane that arrives is carrying not the uniforms, but a tailor to do a fitting - and is only a two-seater, so it can't take the airmen back with it...moreless

Although mostly it is Rene caught up in the show's absurdity, in this episode the german officers get to share his pain as a general is coming for an inspection and they have no uniforms due to Michelle's poor attempts at planning on the run leaving them to the British airmen's stupidity so they are now at the mercy of Michelle's plans which in keeping with the nature of her plans and this show involves getting new unforms made by a tailor flying in from London, in a plane that is also meant to be the airmens escape except there are no spare seats to they are stranded again. To top it all off many things get blown up by exposives disguised as Gin including hens.moreless
