When Dave's relief manager lets him down at short notice, he asks Terry to step into the breach and run the Winchester Club for him. However, concerns mount for both Terry and Arthur when the landlord fails to return as planned - especially as the club's licence is due for imminent renewal.

Arthur becomes involved with a gambler, whose sudden death leaves the dodgy car dealer £2,000 worse off. Meanwhile, Terry helps his old flame Sylvie leave her abusive husband.

A tape implicating two senior police officers in a criminal conspiracy is mistakenly delivered to Daley Videos, and Arthur and Terry find themselves placed in contact with its owner - a local major crime boss.
