Commenting that the flags from those ships don't look to him like the swastika, Rains hands the binoculars to one of the officers. The Germans attempt to get away but Rains gives the guy who called the French swine a good punch right on the button - orders Bogart to take charge of the rest of them as he, Rains must hurry to hoist a white flag before too much damage is done. We FADE IN the following morning with stock shots of American troops landing, jubilantly received by the natives. Bogart's place is going full blast. Sam, the Negro, is back at the piano.
Drinks are on the house.
Rains, now clad in the uniform of the Free French and accompanied by some American officers, arrives. Bogart ushers them into his private office. Here we learn for the first time that Bogart has been more than a gambling and coffee-house proprietor. He has played an important role in preparing the natives for the American occupation. The American officers are no strangers to him.
