The Communist Resistance has captured Colonel von Strohm, Lieutenant Gruber, Captain Bertorelli and his men. René (still disguised as a Franciscian vicar) has given them the copies of the paintings - which they think are the real ones - and convinces the communists not to shoot them, but ask ransom for them. The communists let René and Leclerc go and decide to keep Mimi (who's still disguised as a baby, with the original paintings in her nappies). It turns out General von Klinkerhoffen won't pay the ransom and Michelle suggests robbing the town bank in order to pay the ransom and get von Strohm, Gruber, Bertorelli, Mimi and, most importantly, the paintings back safe and sound.
