Hans mistakes the nitro for gin and accidentally blows up the railway himself! The Germans capture Rene, Yvette, and the peasant-disguised Colonel and Captain. As Helga, Leclerc, and Edith each attempt to help the gang escape, General Von Klinkerhoffen arrives in town and demands that the only known saboteur be shot. This means - Rene's death by firing squad, with Lieutenant Gruber in charge of the squad!moreless

    It doesn't get much worse for Rene then being caught for an act of sabotage done by mistake by the most idiotic German officer ever, Capt. Geering. This leads to yet more farce with terrible disguises, the prisoners being overloaded with hacksaws, the beginning of 'it is I, leclerc'. And the only one who can release them is stuck in there with them and because the general is unhappy and wants a scapegoat Rene is made an example of which leads to more deals enabling him to stay alive but of course the plan almost goes wrong like all good plans on this show.moreless

    • General Von Klinkerhoffen (To René): You'll be shot at dawn. Von Strohm: Of course, I will supervise it personally. General Von Klinkerhoffen: Good. How does 7 o'clock suit you? René: Later would be better for me. Col. Von Strohm: Quiet, pig, dog! General Von Klinkerhoffen: Hyena! Capt. Hans Geering: Frog face!

    • Col. Von Strom: You were very good as my daughter. Cap. Hans Geering: I have very good legs.

    • Edith: If it should go wrong, René, I shall be by your side. And as they take aim, I shall sing "The Marseilles." René: Then I hope they are quick on the trigger.

    • Yvette: What do you think, René? René: I once had a proverb about the best laid plans of mice and men. This plan was definitely laid by a mouse. Fanny: You can say that again.

    • Edith (bringing news to the prisoners): Now Michelle's plan! Listen very carefully, she said this only once.

    • René: We already have a hacksaw, you old fool! Leclerc (dressed as a priest): In that case my son, up yours!

    • Yvette: René, if they'd shoot us, at least I would die at your side. René: If you died in front of me, at least I'd have a better chance.

    • Fanny (To Edith): Why have I been left alone so long? Leclerc (in bed with Fanny): I had a headache.

    • Col. Von Strom: Helga. How did you get up there? Helga: I am standing on a peasant.

    • (The British airmen are lying in Madame Fanny's bed) Flying Officer Fairfax: If the Jerries find us dressed in civvies, it would take quite a lot explaining. Flying Officer Carstairs: If they found us in bed with each other, it would take even more explaining. Flying Officer Fairfax: Carstairs, are you a grammar-school boy? Flying Officer Carstairs: (shocked) How do you know? Flying Officer Fairfax: You're wearing your socks in bed.

    • Monsieur Leclerc: Of course, Madame, I can help you. I have been in many French nicks! Fanny: Always a gigolo!
