in such business." The conspirators decide to blow up Hynkel's palace, the bomb thrower to be signified by a coin in a cake.
There is amusing foolery as each conspirator, finding a coin in his cake, passes it furtively to his neighbor. The barber swallows three coins in this sequence, hiccups, to a clinking of coins at each hiccup. Finally, old Jaeckel dramatically announces "Gentlemen, the coin is here!" As the barber coughs his three coins up and pockets them, Hannah admits she has put one in each cake. "It is wrong to blow up a palace and kill people. There's enough trouble."
Next morning the papers announce Schultz's escape and that a certain Jewish barber is wanted for questioning. Jaeckel muses, "Meyerburg was also wanted for questioning but we never heard of him since." As the troopers are heard marching, Schultz and the barber are helped to escape. Loaded with baggage and golf bags and an empty hat box over the barber's head, they seek escape over the rooftops.
Unable to see through the hat box, the barber walks out on a pole high above the street. He is warned, "Look where you are!" and drops the golf bags. When he removes the hat box to see, he drops everything.
The escaping pair run up and down a gable roof. Slipping on a loose shingle, the barber falls through a skylight, lands on a bed, politely says, "Pardon me" to the husband and "Sorry" to the wife and runs out to be nabbed by the troopers on the roof. We next see Schultz and the barber goose stepping in a concentration camp.
In a series of dissolves (silent action with music), Hannah and Jaeckel pull a wagon over a bridge and escape into Austerlich. . . . They work in the vineyards. . . . They set a table outside a farm cottage. . . . Hannah writes to the barber, "We are anxiously waiting for your release so we can all be together again. ..."
