The prisoners escape via a tunnel that emerges in the bath of Lady Constance de Coverlet. Later they are caught by the Commandant playing cricket in a church. Bill Oddie explains by reciting a monologue about "The Cricket Bag" that parodies The Deck of Cards as performed by Max Bygraves. The Commandant listens and then has them all shot.
