Robin Tripp, now a fully qualified, unemployed chef, harbours dreams of opening his own bistro. He is helped by his girlfriend Vicky - but hindered by her father.

Opening day approaches at the bistro and Robin has problems with a stuffed bear, half a pig and a Public Health Inspector.

Robin is not keen to meet Vicky's mother, since he's heard she has a nasty habit of hitting people on the nose. The new dish washer thinks he can cope single-handed, but Vicky isn't sure.

Vicky's father decides the restaurant needs some splashes of colour on the walls. Fortunately, he's romantically involved with a young female artist who thinks he is up to the job...

When a counterfeit ten pound note finds its way into the bistro till, Robin must attend a police ID parade. But he picks the wrong man and worries about sparking off an underworld vendetta...

Vicky wonders whether it's time to tie the knot with Robin. A quiet wedding for two is planned, but Nicholls has other plans.
