What Season 3 of 'Allo 'Allo!

Nouvion, a French town under German occupation, is the setting for Season 3. René Artois, the owner of a café, must guard the first cuckoo clock ever made and the painting "The Fallen Madonna" at his café. The items were stolen by the invaders, and the commandant plans to keep them once the war is over. René also shelters two RAF airmen. The all-female Resistance wants to send them back home, but their plans are as outlandish as they are risky. Between hidden sausages, rescues and deceiving the officers, René tries to keep everyone happy without anyone finding out the truth.

The Resistance pays him back with Monsieur Leclerc's badly forged money. But after everything seems to be getting back to normal, the sausage is sent to Lieutenant Gruber to make another copy.
