PlotEdit

Albert trains the football team - Len, Cyril, Betty, Dickie, Audrey, Stan and Hilda. The team plan to kidnap Dolores - the "Flying Horse"'s Donkey mascot. Len announces to everyone at the Rovers that Maggie stayed the night at his house in his absence. The Ogdens fail to kidnap Dolores. She stamps on Stan's toe. Maggie refuses to divorce Les because of her marriage vows. Len tells Ena that the cemetery is to be used for a college, not a supermarket and she backs down. Albert and Hilda attempt to get Tommy Deakin drunk but end up legless themselves.
