Del is getting into financial trouble - even his double-headed coin can't help him win. He's gambling away his money with no sign of stopping, and he's already £150 down. Nevertheless, when Boycie challenges him to a winner-takes-all poker game, Del is eager to host it in his flat in Mandela House. As the night progresses, Del's luck goes from bad to worse as he ends up owing Boycie all his money, the TITCO van, Grandad's cash, jewellery and even a collection of loose change. But all is not lost, as Del finally turns the tables on Boycie in revenge for fixing all the previous card games in his favour.—Rune Thandy

Del is down on his luck, and Trotters' Independent Traders are 'brassic'. Worse still, Del has been secretly gambling, and losing even more money - with Boycie being his tormentor-in-chief by continually relieving him of his hard-earned money. When Grandad gives Del his old double-headed coin - he hopes his luck will change, but it seems it's all too late. Finally, Del needs all the luck he can get as decides it's make or break time, and pools all the Trotter resources into a winner-takes-all poker game against a cocksure Boycie at the Trotters' flat.—stevecann2003

Del Boy, Rodney, and Grandad are making perfume just to earn money after Del had been losing most of his in a series of poker games with Boycie, which Del attributes to a "losing streak".. Grandad shows Del a double-headed coin that he got off a Scottish man during the war, and advises Del to use it against Boycie.

Later, at The Nag's Head, after not selling any perfume, the Trotter Brothers and Trigger talk about Del's luck until Boycie walks in. Del challenges him to a winner-takes-all poker game at 8:30pm at Nelson Mandela House, much to Rodney's chagrin. But first, Del and Boycie have a bet on the next customer who walks in ordering a pint or not. A large Irishman enters and orders a Dry Martini and a slim line tonic, thus costing Del another £20. Del tries to get his money back by flipping the double-headed coin for it, but Boycie calls heads.

Del explains to Rodney the reason why he has to play the poker game with Boycie tonight: Rodney does not remember the day their father Reg left home after their mother Joan died, because he was only a small infant at the time. Del came home from the market that evening and found that Reg had packed his bags and gone for good. He left them with nothing, and even opened Rodney's piggy bank. The only thing Reg did not get was the money Joan had left her sons, because Del hid it too well. And it was Del's birthday; Reg even took his cake. From that day forward, Del swore that he would never run away from anything in his life, and that is why he has to play the poker game with Boycie tonight. Rodney understands it all eventually and goes off to get more stake money for his older brother by returning empty bottles from last week's disco to the shop.

That night, back at the flat, Del has everything set up for the poker game. Grandad reluctantly lends Del some money to put up during the game, as Rodney tells them that Boycie and Trigger have arrived. Del and Boycie flip a coin to decide whose pack of cards they will use. Del flips the double-headed coin and Boycie calls heads again, so they use Boycie's card. Throughout the evening, Boycie easily overcomes both Del and Trigger with his marked cards

As Trigger pulls out, Del and Boycie agree to a no-limits game, and Boycie seemingly trumps Del with a bet of $1000. Del wagers all his jewelry, Trigger's car (which Boycie had sold to him), the stereo, the TVs, and everything in the flat just to see Boycie's cards. Boycie reveals that he has four Kings, while Del has only got two pairs. As Boycie prepares to leave triumphantly, Del reminds him that according to the rules, all cards must be shown before the winnings are collected. Boycie agrees, and Del shows everyone that he has in fact got two pairs of Aces, giving him a winning hand. Boycie congratulates Del on winning, and asks him where he got those Aces from. Del replies that he got them from the same place that Boycie got his Kings, because Del knew Boycie was cheating, and that wasn't the hand he dealt him.

With that said, Del and Rodney begin collecting up the money. As Boycie prepares to leave defeated, Rodney convinces Del that he is now on a winning streak, so Del decides to flip a coin with Boycie for £200, but with Rodney calling for him. Rodney, forgetting about the double-headed coin, calls tails, leaving Boycie with the last laugh.
