Plot[]
Gail throws herself at Roger Floriet but their intimate moments are ruined by Suzie. Roger can't decide which one of them to invite to France. Maurice Allen and Gary Hankins work at No.3 when they should be at the Rovers. Ray sees them and is furious. He phones the brewery and reports them for moonlighting. Maurice and Gary are sacked. Maurice goes for Ray but Len stops him. Maurice swears to get even with Ray. Roger can't choose between Suzie and Gail so he invites them both. Detective Constable Burton tells Renee and Bet that Eric Bailey and Les Fox have been caught. Roger returns home to Lyon. The brewery draymen go out on strike over Maurice's sacking, and the Rovers' cellar is nearly out of beer.
