I denne klassiske fortælling om brutal rivalisering krydret med blodtørstige ambitioner og dræbende jalousi, befinder vi os i vikingetiden. Hvor Prins Einar og Prins Erik - der uden at vide det er halvbrødre - bliver bitre rivaler om den smukke walisiske Prinsesse Morgana's gunst. Hendes skønhed tænder en brand i begge mænd, og det eneste der nu kan slukke den rasende ild, er rivalens blod.

With the destruction of their previous neighbourhood has inevitably come the destruction of the lads’ favoured watering hole The Fat Ox. Again, it’s Bob rather than Terry who is visibly distressed by this. Upset and much the worse for free alcohol, Bob then storms into the library to seek sympathy from Thelma - who is, predictably, unimpressed. So when Thelma finds out that Terry has been getting semi-serious with glamorous Finnish shop assistant Chris, she takes it upon herself to try and pair them off for good via planning first a dinner party and then that mainstay of 70s comedy, a camping expedition. Of course, things don’t go quite according to plan and before you can say ‘I can see the way this is going’ we are set up for japes, larks and embarrassing incidents aplenty, which culminate in the lads getting rather fed up with their partners’ attempts to inflict the rugged outdoor lifestyle upon them and trying to hitch up and drive off with the girls still asleep in the caravan.
