Dan, Jimmy and Timmy endeavour to do their Christmas shopping in a rival town. Meanwhile a couple (including an expectant mother) arrive in Killinaskully and seek a place to stay...

Two German film-makers come to the remote Irish village of Killinaskully in order to shoot a documentary. Their progress is very much reduced due to the machinations of the unusual locals, including the man-hungry housekeeper Goretti.

Love blossoms as both Mr. Cantwell, the local headmaster and German documentary maker Dieter fall for the schoolteacher Miss Fahey.

When old Fr. Mularkey is packed off to a home for the bewildered, the Killinaskully faithful wait with baited breath for their new priest. Their faith is put to the test, however, when the new cleric turns out to be a little more exotic than they're used to.

Nothing unites a community like bad news and so the whole village rallies round when Timmy's demise is imminent. A trip to his beloved ""Spudworld"" is hastily planned but, as Timmy heads for the airport, the terrible truth emerges.

Killinaskully GAA club have been using ""the pitch"" for as long as anyone can remember, so, when the widow Gilhooley puts it up for auction they are confident it will be theirs. That is until a flamboyant yank swaggers into town. Will the yank get the field, or will the Dan put a stop to this ""outsider""?
