Peter is called for a medical for the navy. Stan lets Eddie's mate Tiny Hargreaves use the window-cleaning handcart for £3. Steve takes Suzie and Gail to an all-night party. Ken doesn't like the idea of Peter being in the navy but Albert thinks it'll be the making of him. Two thugs beat Ron Mather up after refusing to pay their fare. Elsie takes him in.
