Rene can't send any radio messages to London because Herr Flick has set up a jamming signal. A kite is used in an attempt to get the aeriel for the Cafe's radio above the jamming signal.

Rene is being held by the Germans after the sausage fiasco. He manages to talk them into releasing him. Meanwhile, Edith has disguised herself as a German officer. She plans to threaten the Germans with a grenade so that they'll release Rene. She only succeeds in blowing up the open air urinal in the town square.
The local peasants are refusing to work in the German's vineyard, so General Von Klinkerhoffen orders his men to conscript forced labour from Nouvion. The Resistance plans to assassinate the General.
The spy camera is found by Monsieur Le Clerc.
