Perhaps the high mark of this excellent series and certainly one of my favourites. The episodes starts with the three men searching under bushes in the countryside for a treacle can Compo buried years before. Compo isn't sure just what he put in the can but it must contain some valuable antiques. After a long search, the men take a break at a local pub where Compo & Clegg decide they should find a woman for Foggy. They tell a tall tale to the waitress, saying Foggy is an eccentric millionaire who made his fortune in frozen turkeys. The waitress is not impressed with the poor Foggy, but a wealthy Foggy impresses her a great deal.
After a wonderful scene where the waitress shows her interest to the bewildered Foggy, the three men return to the countryside to find the buried treacle can. Foggy comes up with a suggestion as to why their previous search failed and a new search is initiated. The finale features one of the funniest sequences in the entire series.
