The unexpected departure of Norman Tripper leaves the supermarket in chaos... until Cecil Slinger arrives.

Hardie starts recruiting union members; Slinger tries to sell more fruits; Fred applies for a new job; and the store gets a shoplifter with other things in mind.

Slinger tries to make the store more costumer friendly, Dottie catches the shoplifter, and Councillor Howard places a large order of butter.

The Royals are to arrive for the French Cheese celebration, to which confusion ensues.
