Cissie returns from her uncle's funeral drunk and having given a large tip to the taxi driver as well as buying him lunch. When pressed by the ladies at Paradise Lodge Retirement Home, it seems that Cissie was left the princely sum of £10,000 by her late uncle. Cissie has little clue what he did apart from he did spend a lot of time in the shed.
Flora knowing the Cissie cannot handle such a vast sum of money gets control of it and starts to spend the money on herself such as buying a fur coat and hat. Flora also sets up a loans company in the garage of the home but comes a cropper when it starts to rain and the roof leaks.
However Cissie soon finds out why her uncle spent so much time in the garage as the taxi driver returns claiming that the £10 note given to him is a forgery. Flora is now in bother as she has been passing off dud notes.
Plenty of selfish conniving from Flora and Cissie gives Flora her comeuppance in the garage when the garage collapses, leaving Flora in bandages.
