This sequel to the popular stage production of 'Allo 'Allo continues the adventures of reluctant resistance hero and harassed café owner, Rene Artois, in German-occupied wartime France. 

​

Still trying to repatriate a pair of British airmen, Rene, his wife Edith and their café waitresses, Mimi and Yvette, are embroiled in yet another complicated and life-threatening scheme. General Von Klinkerhoffen demands a fortune in francs in recompense for the loss of the infamous painting of 'The Fallen Madonna With The Big Boobies' and Rene is expected to come up with the cash. 

​

But nothing is ever easy. The local undertaker, Monsieur Alphonse, is making advances on Edith. Rene's mother in law, Madame Fanny, objects to the radio used to communicate with London being hidden under her bed. No-one can understand a word Officer Crabtree is saying, and Michelle of the resistance has a series of of increasingly hare-brained proposals. Herr Flick of the Gestapo - suitably aided by Helga Geerhart, Colonel Von Strohm and Captain Geering all have their own plans to get hold of the money, and Lieutenant Gruber still wants to take Rene away for a ride in his little tank. The cash, a set of forged notes and a bomb all end up hidden in identical camembert cheeses. What could possibly go wrong?
