Budgie has just been released from prison, and has been given the job of looking after one of Charlie Endell strippers called Charity the Salford stripper. Budgie and his Irish mate Grogen accidentally steal a van load of pornographic magazines from the police and then try to destroy the evidence by burning them on a cricket field. Grog end and Charity leave Budgie to face Charlie wrath.

Budgie seems to have fallen on his feet - a flat right in the centre of Soho all to himself for six weeks. But why is Charlie doing him a favour - and Hazel's mother has plans for him too.

Budgie's on to something big. It means "playing at home" in Watford for a change. It means seeing his wife Jean; but Budgie knows he's sure of a welcome there isn't he?
