Plot
Hilda shows off her exotic wears that she's obtained for the Corner Shop. The salesman suggests she tries some free offers. Frank promises Bet he won't steal any more cars. Frank tells Judd Johnson he's got a project lined up. No one wants Hilda's fancy goods. Frank plans to steal a car, fix it with a false log book at the Canal Garage and sell it. He tells Bet he may give up the lorries. Billy tells Frank he can work on his car at the garage. Hilda realises she's ruining the business.
