Revenge is sweet for Winston when he exposes the new bookie Frankie Reid, supposedly the elder brother of his old adversary Stevie, as Stevie himself and, thanks to personal tips from pundit John McCririck via the T.V. set, takes him to the cleaners, though his triumph is short-lived. Jack and Victor win a free tour of a local whisky distillery where they bend the rules and get thrown out - but with a valuable souvenir.

Chris the Postie, who used to be a decorator, has offered to paint and re-paper Isa's flat for £160, but Jack and Victor send him on his way, offering to do it for nothing. However, they make such a mess of it they are forced to pay Chris themselves. Boabby is literally exposed when Tam gets hold of a porn tape in which he appeared - as Troy the Gardener - and Shug accidentally treats the whole town centre to a showing of it.

As a birthday surprise for Victor's 75th, Jack arranges a fishing trip on the River Kelvin in Shug's dinghy, along with Winston. They drift downstream over a weir, leading to an argument, but find a picnic, which they wolf down. Actually it belonged to a group of neds, who are not pleased. There is reconciliation but everyone ends up, literally, all at sea.

Whilst Navid undergoes a mid-life crisis and yearns to be young again, the Clansman is to be featured on a television show, 'Blighty's Hardest Boozers'. Unfortunately, it just isn't hard enough so Boabby goes recruiting among the neds as well as presenting Jack and Victor as tough guys. The producer is not convinced, but then a real hard nut turns up and is so realistic there is a knock-on effect.

Winston expresses an interest in moving to Finport by the sea, which he believes to be a playground for merry widows. Jack and Victor go with Isa to visit her recently-widowed friend Ella, who looks like Ken Dodd and whose husband was hired as a wedding chauffeur the following weekend. Jack agrees to take his place but a little too much of the celebratory spirit leads to him and Victor tying the groom nude to a lamp-post.
