Samuel Foster has had a hard day at work carrying boxes of baked beans in the warehouse single-handedly.
He is tired and when he comes home. The special meal that Pearl prepared for him was eaten by eldest son Sonny.
Once more Sonny is out of work. He has lost his job as a refuse collector.
Not only that Samuel does not have a good night sleep. Both Sonny and Shirley come home late at night. Both sneaking in the person they have been out with.
The next day Samuel learns that his firm are hiring. So he tries to get Sonny fixed up but he is too tired. He ended up taking the wrong medication when feeling ill the night before.
An amusing episode with Lenny Henry getting to a bit more of the comedy. Norman Beaton matches him in the slapstick.
