Wesley gets Foggy, Norman and Compo to help him move a Piano for Auntie Wainwright almost running into Billy Ingleton, who takes a shine to the instrument. Foggy wants credit as the concert promoter for Billy. Howard and Marina wear, what they think are, disguises. Eli conducts The Holme Band at the concert. Compo saves the show.

All types of strange creatures seem to be parading themselves through town. The reason? A new film's being made. All the locals get involved on the production of the film. Pearl puts a secret electric device on Howard's bycicle, so she can track him down, when he escapes her.

To generate some excitement in the village, Truly stops a common citizen (who happens to be Billy Ingleton, the man who almost knew Pavarotti) in a car and warns him about "The Tiger". Billy gets worried and gets pulled over again. The rumour spreads across town and Howard buys things from Auntie Wainwright to protect him and Marina against the tiger.

When Nora Batty books Billy Ingleton's organ for a charity fair, she badly underestimates how much of an attraction it will be... Marina declines to go out with Howard because she's caught the showbiz bug, and is rehearsing a play at the local church. Howard asks the trio to help him think of something "showbizzy" they can do together.

Nora is to appear in a parade as the wife of a local hero. The hero himself is to be portrayed by a life-sized dummy, which has been at Auntie Wainwright's for cleaning. Can The General get back in one piece?

Feeling too old for a bicycle, Howard purchases a "secret" car. Barry is having a spiritual crisis.
