‘Allo ‘Allo! - S05E21 - All Aboard (PART1)

Posted by admin as Gold Bars

Michelle reports that the British have a new plan to get the airmen home (of course): sending a midget two-man sub up the canal at midnight - the airmen will sit astride it wearing diving helmets. This hairbrained scheme pushes Rene over the edge and he arranges to elope with Yvette and the paintings, promising to send her a note telling her which train to take and where to meet him. But as he attempts to arrange his escape, Helga arrives to force him to take the paintings to the chateau, where Von Strohm announces that General Von Klinkerhoffen has told him that Hitler is having an art expert sent to verify the paintings’ authenticity and have them taken back up to Berlin. Naturally, the Colonel insists on having the paintings - and gives Rene a 60-second headstart, since Hitler has also ordered that the peasant who was hiding the paintings be shot.

Flick finds out that Hitler could not have given any such orders, though, and gets suspicious - and sure enough, the General is up to sneaky pool. He has contacted the Swedish art expert to sell the paintings, and the expert has given him a fortune in gold bars. But since Von Klinkerhoffen’s safe has been blown up, he goes to the police station to store the gold in the safe, and Rene manages to nick it. He leaves notes for both Yvette and Edith, but Leclerc mixes them up; and the Colonel and Gruber (and Helga) try to get the painting off the train as Flick and Von Smallhausen figure on something fishy going on - and the result is that almost everyone ends up on the 11:15 Geneva Express!
