Hubert is entertaining a Turkish businessman, who loves nothing better than to work the garden. Both Truus and Willem mistake the man for a Turkish guest worker.
Willem is trying to give up smoking. Rinus and Truus are uncomfortable because their son Jaap has been insubordinate to his boss Hubert at the factory.
Hubert and Bea are celebrating their third wedding anniversary. Bea is given a leopard fur coat made of nylon. Willem has sold an expensive piece of art and feels like celebrating as well.
Willem and Gaby have taken separate holidays. Gaby, Hubert and Bea spend a fortnight in Spain with Bea's mother Janet. When they arrive home they are surprised to find the fridge fully stocked - unaware that Willem returned home after just two days.
The entire family is preparing items to sell on a fancy fair for a good cause: the restoration of an old house in the village. Janet is feeling artistic and has decorated a pair of clomps. Rinus adds an unopened letter from 1909 to the list of items.
