- George (Brian Murphy) plays scrubble with himself so he always wins. The next day it's George and Mildred (Yootha Joyce) Roper's wedding anniversary so she demands a present.
Jeffrey Fourmile (Norman Eshley) is his posh neighbour, who complains because the weed he keeps on getting in his perfect orchard has roots at the Roper's garden. He doesn't want his son Tristam (Nicholas Bond-Owen) to play at the park with the council estate's children. However, one day, and encourage with Ann Fourmile (Sheila Fearn), Tristam invites Tommy to call on him.
George finds a lost American Express credit card in the local pub while talking to Nigel (Roy Herrick) and Jeffrey. When he talks to the police officer (Ivor Roberts), he doesn't want to admit he found it so as not to have to give it back.
Mildred sends herself a card on George's behalf. He gives her a furry coat. When Mildred hears about the lost credit card business from Ann, she thinks that George was dishonest and paid for the coat with it, so she goes to the Oxfam shop where George had bought it and asked for a refund. After several donations, the Oxfam shop assistant (Trevor Baxter) helps her.
Mr MacDonald (Ewan Roberts) call on the Ropers to give him 8 cigarrettes as a reward but not including the coupons. Desperate, Mildred runs to the Oxfam shop to buy the coat again, but it is being sold to Mrs Peasley (Hal Dyer)
Tommy's father (Derek Deadman) appears to apologize. He disapproves of the Fourmiles, because he wants his son to be a union leader and worker, not burgueoise like the Fourmiles.
Mildred will last discover that George had paid for the furry coat faking her signature to withdraw money from the post office account.
