The Battersby's are new landowners in the area and have bought a local beauty spot, with the aim of turning it into a sand quarry.
Mr. Battersby is a rather diffident ex army Captain but his wife is a very determined woman, principly concerned that her husband succeeds in her endeavours.
A local Borough Councillor died of a heart attack forcing a bi election, and Mrs Battersby wants her husband to stand as a Candidate. Mrs Battersby is under the erroneous assumption that no one else will stand as a Candidate, and Mr. Battersby will be elected unopposed.
Pa Larkin is rather boxed into a corner by his misses to stand as a Candidate, to hopefully prevent Captain Battersby from succeeding.
Marriette and Charlie are struggling to make ends meet, but primarily in getting anywhere with the owner of Bristow's Brewery. Until Charlie has a brainstorm a brilliant idea of outflanking, the elusive Mr. Bristow. This involves Marriette making a visit to, the friendly neighbourhood bank manager. Unfortunately he is no longer in charge and he has been replaced by Diana Parker, requiring a new appraisal of the possibilities.
Primrose has sung Charlie's praises to one of her teachers for his accountancy skills, a Miss Marion Winters. All Primrose mischievously tells him, is that her teacher is not married. But Primrose really should have mentioned the nickname, that the teacher has acquired at school. Charlie has to find that name out later, to his great embarrassment and discomfort.
