Allan, a long-time admirer of Sally's, arrives unexpectedly and the boys are only too keen to play matchmaker - much to their mother's distress! Auntie, however, is very keen on his continued presence in the house..

Simon sees himself as the potential breadwinner in the house and so announces his intention to leave school. Sally tries to head off his teenage rebellion, but it seems he's already fled to join the army.

Mr. Campbell invites Sally and her family to stay in his sister's home in the country. Unfortunately Sally is her error-prone self, and when Peter falls in the river at the start of their mini holiday and the household has a disturbed night, Miss Campbell starts doubting her own sanity.
