Arkwright (Ronnie Barker) and Nurse Gladys Emmanuel (Lynda Baron) are invited to a wedding. When Arkwright's put on his suit, Granville (David Jason) complains about it stinking of mothballs. Granville is right. When Arkwright gets into Nurse Glady's car, she cannot stand the stench, and has Arkwright to hang his suit outside the running car to eliminate the stink.

Notes
At the opening scene, Granville is writing at the shop's window, Arkwright's newest offer: Cat food, from 29 and a half pence to 28 pence. Alas, Arkwright thinks that it is too much, and decides to set the price at 29 pence, with a whopping half penny discount.
After Arkwright has read a newspaper, he irons it to put it again for sale.
This episode shows another one of Arkwright's customers, Mr Bristow, who gets trapped inside his motorcycle helmet. Arkwright and Granville decide to use an axe to free him.
