Del is confident that he's on to a winner with Trigger's consignment of Old English vinyl briefcases. How can his brother Rodney even think of abandoning the high flying world of trading for a real job?

Del and Rodney are looking after Boycie's E Type Jaguar for the week. They head off for a night on the tiles and get lucky with a pair of sorts in Nicky and Michelle. The girls write their phone numbers on Del's cigar pack, but Rodney chucks it out of the window of the Jag on the way home. When Del performs an emergency stop, suddenly Boycie's luxury motor is not so pristine.

Eager to forge new business contacts, Del befriends Vimmal Malik, a wealthy businessman who seems eager to work with Trotters Independent Traders. All Del has to do to secure the deal of a lifetime is get hold of a poxy statue, the trouble is, he hasn't reckoned on a touch of gang warfare.

Del meets Trigger in The Nags Head, and he's stunned to hear that Pauline Harris, his ex-fiancee, is back in Peckham - twelve years after she left him to go to America. But with her return, Del is willing to forgive and forget, and it's not long before they are engaged again. Rodney's not so thrilled after finding out what happened to her first two husbands.

Del persuades the local bus company to hand over one of their open-top buses in exchange for Rodney working as a Trainee Nocturnal Security Officer - part of their latest company, Trotter Watch. But the best is yet to come, as Del launches Trotters' Ethnic Tours: a scenic tour around Chingford and Croydon, taking in such ethnic sights as the Lee Valley Viaduct.

Another successful dodgy deal means Del has over a grand's worth of lead from a disused factory to get rid of. When Rodney points out the three tons of lead are in fact a DIY nuclear fall-out shelter, Del refuses to believe him until he reads the accompanying brochure. With the threat of nuclear holocaust preying on Rodney's nerves, they set about creating a survival plan.
