Fireman Ken Boon is forced to retire after sustaining serious lung damage. Advertising himself in the local paper - "Anything legal considered" - Ken's first client wants him to dress up in a fireman's uniform and star in a pop video.

Stephen Rea guest stars as an amnesiac who can't even remember his own name. The only thing he knows is that he has a lot of money with him and no idea where it came from. Ken steps in to investigate.

Ken is rather surprised when a couple staying at the Grand Hotel ask him to recover their stolen cat. Surprise quickly turns to horror when he realises that the cat is actually a lion kidnapped by an unscrupulous gang of animal rights activists.

Ken chases an unpaid hotel bill. He discovers a distraught widow and offers his help to dig her huge overgrown garden. Soon, he finds out that it's not just the garden that's out of control.

Child-minding is not Ken's idea of a glamorous job - especially when the child is Daniel, difficult son of a fading rockstar.

When the new bar mirror and the Grand's crockery are smashed, it is clear that the hotel is the latest target of a local protection racket. Ken insists on taking the battle to the enemy.
