Our tactless hero does it again. Having arrived home very late one night, to face Hazel's wrath, he compounds the issue by telling her he has a friend waiting outside - one whom he's invited to stay the night.

When he meets Inky Ballantine, and gets involved in a new money-making racket - capital investment- Budgie believes he's struck it rich. He's thought that before - but look where it got him last time.

When Charlie Endell clothes him in a new suit and makes his 'chief associate', Budgie is confident that Charlie has finally recognised his true potential - but Hazel isn't so sure.
