In the McHale's Navy season 2 episode 11 titled "French Leave for McHale," the crew of PT-73 prepares for a well-deserved break in the city of Nice, France. However, Commander McHale's joy is short-lived when he receives orders from Binghamton to report to headquarters in Paris. McHale is informed that he must accompany three French Resistance fighters to a secret meeting with an OSS agent in Paris. The OSS agent is in possession of important intelligence about German troop movements, and McHale is tasked with ensuring that the French Resistance fighters reach the meeting safely.
As McHale and the Resistance fighters make their way through the French countryside, they encounter many obstacles and challenges. They are not only pursued by the Germans, but they also encounter suspicious French villagers who aren't sure if they can trust the group. To make matters worse, McHale is forced to rely on Corporal Carpenter, who speaks fluent French, to communicate with the Resistance fighters. Carpenter, however, is more interested in flirting with the French women they encounter than helping with the mission.
Despite all of these challenges, McHale and the Resistance fighters manage to make it to Paris and meet with the OSS agent. However, their mission doesn't end there. They must now return to Nice with the important intelligence and deliver it to Allied command. Along the way, they encounter even more obstacles, including a German roadblock that threatens to derail their mission entirely.
