Ren fears what General von Klinkeroffen will do if he finds out that he has stolen the gold bars, and decides to escape to Geneva with Yvette. Ren camouflages the gold as the weight of his cuckoo clock and packs it with him. Yvette enters and wonders where he has hidden the gold, and starts fondling Ren to see if he has it on his person. As usual, they are surprised by Edith who wonders what's going on. "You STUPID woman!" Ren shouts; lying that Yvette was only searching for the key to the wine cellar. All of a sudden, von Strohm, Gruber and von Klinkerhoffen show up at the caf. Klinkerhoffen says that the secret enigma coding machine has been stolen, and whoever has it will be able to encode all the messages of the German army. He demands a search of the caf and says that anyone who tries to leave Nouvion will be shot - much to Ren's chagrin. Michelle pops up at the caf - disguised as a pregnant peasant girl. She takes Ren to the back room and pulls out the enigma decoding machine from her coat. She instructs Ren to hide the machine in a wine barrel and drop it into the sewer. A British submarine is waiting to pick it up, so at a pre-arranged time, all the villagers of Nouvion will flush their toilets so that the enigma machine will reach the canal where the submarine is waiting. While the Germans are distracted, Ren, Edith, Yvette, Mimi and Monsieur Alphonse place the wine barrel with the machine into the sewer. Unofrtunately, this plan goes down the drain too: Crabtree later arrives to inform Ren that the British air force have dropped bombs on the water works and hit the water pumps. No it won't work to flush away the enigma machine. Edith comes up with a new plan: to fill up the sewer with the caf's wine. The plan works and the enigma machine is finally flushed away. The gang heads back to the caf and celebrate their success. That is until Ren discovers that Leclerc has put the wrong case in the barrel: they have flushed the suitcase Ren was packing earlier, while the enigma machine is still at the caf.moreless
