Duncan has acquired a new housekeeper in the attractive Mrs. Morgan; a marvelous cook who unfortunately can't keep her hands off him. His bragging of her culinary skills results in Dudley dropping a few subtle hints [backed up by a jab from a knife and fork] that he should invite himself and Muriel round for a meal. Duncan reluctantly concedes - insisting on dinner jackets being worn in a last attempt to put them off - and Dudley starves himself all day in order to enjoy the full benefit of this most rare occurrence. Meanwhile, the sports club at Jacqui's firm is holding a Tramps and Tarts fancy dress party, and she and Susan are all set to be dropped off on the way: although Dudley doesn't approve of their outfits. Mrs. Morgan leaves dinner in the oven for Duncan and his guests before heading off to Eastbourne to spend the weekend with her sister. Dudley, for his part, is bringing a bottle of nonspecific burgundy; a £1 unlabeled item salvaged from the flooded cellar of a little wine merchants at Hackney. Dudley and Muriel arrive at Duncan's flat, only to find that he has locked himself out with his keys and money inside on the dressing table. The door being burglar-proof and Mrs. Morgan having the only other key, they all three drive to a fish and chip shop before returning to the Rush house, where Muriel proposes making up a bed for Duncan on the sofa. In the meantime Jacqui's boss Percy's Mercedes breaks down whilst giving the girls a lift home and they are forced to walk for miles to a transport cafe run by a gentleman named Fred. Jacqui telephones her father for assistance, but Dudley doesn't fancy the idea of leaving Muriel alone in the house with the lecherous Duncan.
