Plot
Mike is pleased with the standard of the Brown's order. Eddie stocks up with cash-and-carry beer. The factory girls look forward to a big bonus from the Brown's order but Mike feels the profit margin will be slight. Hilda decides she's entitled to a bonus as well as the machinists. Stan gleefully joins Eddie in his ice cream round. Bet and Rita go fishing with Tony Ball and Alec Keegan. Eddie finds ready customers for his beer. A policeman sees an open beer can in the van and breathalyses Eddie. He is cleared but the policeman tells him he's suspicious of him and will watch him. Bet enjoys herself with Tony and hopes Rita doesn't scare the men off.
