Renandeacute;, Mimi, Monsieur Le Clerc, Lieutenant Gruber, Colonel Von Strohm and the Italian soldiers are being held prisoner by the Communist Randeacute;sistance. Renandeacute; and Le Clerc are released so that they can go and collect a million Franc ransom for the release of the Germans and Italians. General Von Klinkerhoffen won't pay the ransom, so Renandeacute; and company decide to rob the local bank. They end up trapped in the strongroom and have to blow their way out.
In this spoof of World War II, Renandeacute; Artois runs a cafandeacute; in German-occupied France. He always seems to have his hands full: He's having affairs with most of his waitresses, he's keeping his wife happy, he's trying to please the German soldiers who frequent his cafandeacute;, and he's running a major underground operation for the Resistance.
