Ha habido una serie de robos en las casas de personas recientemente fallecidas y las pistas llevan a Cyril Fuller, un viejo amigo de Claude Greengrass. Greengrass está convencido de que su amigo es inocente y se persuade a hacer algo que nunca pensó que haría: ¡ayudar a la policía! Blaketon ha comprado el Aidensfield Arms a Lord Ashfordly y pronto vuelve locas tanto a Gina como a la tía Mary con todas sus exigencias. Maggie Bolton disfruta tanto de la maternidad que decide renunciar a su trabajo de enfermera. Pero un grave brote de gripe puede hacerla reconsiderar. Tanto Blaketon como Greengrass están seguros de que no se contagiarán porque tienen formas de evitarlo. Sí, y los cerdos podrían...

The honeymoon is over for Rob and Helen Walker. A car with an unconscious man in it is found in a ditch at Long Lane. And somebody has stolen all the sheep from Len Hallett's farm. Since it happened only a few hundred yards apart PC Walker suspects that the two cases are connected and that the unconscious man, Frank Mirfield, may have seen something he should not. Terry Parsons' grandmother has become senile dementia, and Dr. Walker suggests that they lock her in to keep her from wandering off, but the next morning the old lady has disappeared. Norman and Kath Harrison have bought a farm and necessity forces them to live off the land and Aunt Peggy decides to become self-sufficient too, but that idea really stinks.

A car crashes on the road to Aidensfield. The driver Ellen Ferguson is badly injured while her husband and daughter get off with only minor bruises. PC Mason is sure that she was speeding, but her husband Lennie denies that. But there might be more behind it than that because Nurse Cassidy notices at mysterious man who frightens the daughter Trudi. Shortly after another stranger turns up at the hospital asking for Ellen Ferguson. Only he calls her Phillips and not Ferguson. David wins some money and uses them to buy an old Jeep which Bernie will help him restore. But it turns out that it is not any old Jeep when they find Field Marshall Montgomery's beret in it.
