A Rainy Day in Worthing Arthur and Edith go into the 'Antiques Fair' simply to find shelter for Arthur from the rain while Edith gets her hair done. When she leaves, he finds an old fruit bowl which brings back memories of his divorce from his first wife, for which he still blames Edith. When she returns, the ensuing argument leads to her walking out… Fortunately he comes to his senses in time, and they leave to make a fresh start. Unfortunately, it breaks up the long standing affair of Fred and Sylv at the same time. The Con Merchant Arnold Boot, a con man, tries to con Edith Butcher out of her supposed fortune… Edith, an equally clever con woman, tries to con Arnold into being the prime suspect for her husband's murder. Tracy, an undercover policewoman, falls for Sean, Edith's toy boy chauffeur, and, when the opportunity arises, clears off with him and the loot - as any sensible copper would, of course. It transpires that Ruby, Arnold's ex, has spent the money in buying the seaside café where the action takes place… saving enough to clear off herself when the time is right, leaving the two con artistes working in the café.
