Mr. Humphries is sent to Australia by Mr. Grace to work for Mr. Bone, Mr. Grace's cousin. Mr. Bone makes a new health scheme to pay a great sum of money to each employee upon retirement. The staff attempt to stay in fit.
Captain Wagstaff suffers a mild ailment which gets banded about the store after being uncovered in the fitting room. This leads to a well-supported fight which doesn't go quite to plan.
Because of the poor wages at Bone Brothers, Mr. Mankowitz has started an employment agency and is helping practically the whole of Bone Brothers find better paying jobs. His special new clients are Mr.Humphries and Mrs. Crawford. But when management gets wind of the latest news, the employees might just be forced to find new jobs.
Mrs. Crawford's new flat is taken over by squatters, and none of the staff offer her accommodation. Mr. Bone allows Mrs. Crawford to stay at the store. With her furniture set up, pussy by her side and a real front door (complete with door bell) Mrs. Crawford is just as happy as can be, until a transport strike leaves everyone without a ride home. The staff slowly turn up at Mrs. Crawford's front door asking for a place to stay.
Mr. Mankowitz has left Bone Brothers and the new position will be the seniors' position, it's the junior. Mr.Humphries has taken over as senior and Mr. Randel as assistant. The floor is asked to stay behind and interview the candidates.
