Following a freak accident, Godfrey Spry develops a 30-second attention span, causing him to take ad slogans literally and leading to chaotic behaviour.

A blow on the head causes a car crash that leaves Godfrey Spry paralysed, a tragic holiday in Hamburg forces him to turn to his estranged nephew for help, and the sale of his house leads to a two-month stretch in prison.

Godfrey goes on a date with a woman he met while out in the park, Muriel can only watch as an excavation digger destroys the car, and Gordon hopes that talk of marriage is the light at the end of the tunnel.
