When Joan decides to make herself more attractive to her husband Eddie, she little realises that it will start off a chain of events which will bring the uneasy truth between them and their black neighbours, Barbie and Bill Reynolds, into open warfare.

Eddie Booth's prejudices towards his black neighbours, Bill and Barbie Reynolds, has not lessened during the few months since we last saw him. When Bill and Barbie decide it is time to hold a housewarming, Eddie tries unsuccessfully to prevent his wife Joan from going, and does his best to sabotage the party.

Whilst Bill Reynolds holds the voodoo cult in great respect, he's definitely not a witch doctor and he certainly does not need to invoke black magic to obtain tickets for the match between West Ham and Manchester United, nor to persuage Eddie Booth to dance naked round an oak tree at midnight.
