'allo 'allo!: Series 5

Herr Flick, dragged up as Irma von Kinkenrotten - the disguise he used to plant the bug - is still in the dungeon. Colonel von Strohm and General von Klinkerhoffen, aware that he knows of the forgeries, feel he should be silenced and hatch a plan. The Resistance, led by René dressed as Heinrich Himmler, will spring him. The German officers, dressed as Gestapo, whom they will blame if anything goes wrong, are to thwart the escape and put paid to Flick. However, the Resistance have effected the escape before the Germans arrive and they find only René, who has swapped places with Flick as the prisoner.

René is finally rescued by Lieutenant Gruber and returns to the café, where Michelle tells him that he must take the camera, hidden in a potato, into the chateau and photograph the invasion plans in the safe. General von Klinkerhoffen is lured away to the café, where, surviving a seduction attempt by Edith, he finds Colonel von Strohm in bed with Yvette. René is about to enter the chateau when there is an air raid.

Rene manages to photograph the safe,which is in Gruber's room and which LeClerc believes he can blow open. Alphonse tells Edith of Rene's affair with Yvette but she believes his denial. Von Klinkerhoffen takes a fancy to Helga and they have a private dinner in his room. Flick and Von Smallhausen,posing as gypsy violinists,serenade them in order to learn whether the general intends to kill Hitler. Smoke bombs are to be dropped down Gruber's chimney,causing a diversion which will allow Rene and LeClerc to come in and open the safe. By mistake the smoke bombs are thrown down the general's chimney instead and he calls the fire brigade.

Von Klinkerhoffen assumes that the 'gypsies' caused the smoke bomb incident and orders their arrest,so they hide in the wardrobe. This gets blown to bits when LeClerc blows the safe up,but its contents are not the invasion plans but the original Fallen Madonna painting and the Van Gogh the general stole from Rene.The Gestapo officers, Rene and LeClerc all escape but the last two are disguised as Germans and are captured by the Communist Resistance and held prisoner in an old saw-mill. Flick believes the safe blew up because Gruber was hiding explosives with which to kill Hitler and orders Helga to chat him up to find out more. Whilst she is doing so Crabtree and the resistance steal Gruber's tank in order to rescue Rene and LeClerc but Edith crashes it into the village's public convenience.

While René is told he'll marry Denise Laroque, the British airmen try to surrender to the Germans.

Rene is not looking forward to marrying Denise and agrees to a romantic dinner with Edith. Michelle has abducted Denise and hidden her in an old mine shaft, the plan being that Edith will take her place at the altar next day. Gruber, not happy at seeing the man he loves get married, is charged by the general to ask Rene where the paintings are and is assured that they are safe. The wedding goes ahead and Rene is surprised to see, when she lifts her veil, that his bride is Edith, not Denise. However the marriage is not legal because, in a counter-plan to prevent the union, the vicar has been replaced by Crabtree.

René hasn't married Denise and now tries to find a place to hide because he fears Denise wants to kill him.

Rene is thrown out of their truck by the Communists and reports that the paintings are with the Communists at their head-quarters. The general plans an attack to recover them,using Bertorelli's Italians but they are lazy and unwilling to cooperate. A generals' conference is to be held in which the invasion of England is likely to be discussed. Michelle gets Rene to do the catering and to get as much information as he can on the invasion. The results will be sent back to England with a long-distance duck.

The generals gather for the conference but the Resistance learn that one is a French collaborator and must be eliminated so Mimi poisons him and Crabtree takes his place. The duck which will carry the message to England escapes and is shot by Bertorelli but the rest of the plan goes ahead. Edith causes a diversion by offering the generals a curiously strong peppermint each which is a doctored pill which has them foaming at the mouth and requires them to go to hospital. Rene then takes a photograph of the plans using a camera concealed in a 'flip-up' apron. Flick meanwhile has Helga fitted for her - leather -wedding dress.

General Von Klinkerhoffen tells Von Strohm and Gruber to catch and kill René for trying to poison a group of high German generals.

German generals plan to meet at the café disguised as onion sellers. So does a new group of shot down British airmen.

Colonel Von Strohm and Gruber tell René to steal the paintings from the headquarters of the Communist Resistance.

In order to free Von Strohm, Gruber, Bertorelli (and Mimi and the paintings), René and the others have to rob a bank to pay ransom to the communists.

The money that René and the gang have robbed from the bank turns out to be from Herr Flick, which makes René very nervous.

Herr Flick tries to find his forged stolen money by selling fish in the town square with von Smallhausen.

Monsieur Alphonse is in the hands of the Gestapo and because they fear he might talk and give them away, the colonel and Gruber want him dead.

When Helga tells Colonel von Strohm the stolen money was false, he thinks up a plan to get rid of the money and Captain Bertorelli.

Herr Flick has arrested monsieur Leclerc and lets it be known he will be shot if the stolen Gestapo money isn't returned.

To prevent the Germans from getting it, the resistance will bring 1,000 kilo of explosives to René, disguised as 500 Christmas puddings.

Herr Flick knows where the land mines are and, with Von Smallhausen, hides in them to arrest resistance members when they pick the mines up.

After hearing yet another absurd plan of Michelle, René has had it and plans to take the train to Switzerland with Yvette and the paintings.

Many mishaps on the Geneva Express where Edith, Mimi and Yvette want René and the Germans and the Gestapo want the paintings.

René and his personnel have to impersonate the Excelsior Quartet at the château.

Monsieur Alphonse has proposed to Edith and René is scared he'll lose the café and the gold in the cuckoo's clock, so he decides to marry Edith.

Michelle gives René the Enigma machine and tells him to put it in a wine barrel and throw it in the sewer where a British submarine awaits it.

Because they have been unable to get the Enigma machine to England, the Resistance has thought up a plan to get some British Intelligence people to Nouvion.
