- The town, and especially the local ballet school, are anticipating the homecoming of dancer Sir Adrian Dormin. Sir Adrian is hospitalised shortly after his arrival, in perfect health, dramatically pronouncing he has returned home to die. Dance teacher Ellie Fielding, a once promising dancer herself, hopes to have Sir Adrian come see her pupils and perhaps garner a donation for the ballet school. Bob, Cookie, Esme, and Maggie reform their syndicate to bet on a horse. The horse, a long shot, comes in but Shorty Price, who is back in business in the pub's bathroom, can't cover the bet and talks Bob and Cookie into accepting a horse in lieu of payment, but no one is impressed with the one-eyed nag the syndicate is left with. Hoping to turn around their fortunes, Bob and Cookie sneak the horse over to the Galloway Park stud farm for a late night rendezvous with Sybil Dormin's prize thoroughbred. A young boy's pet spider escapes into the hospital, keeping the staff on their toes - and the chairs, and the tables.

Sybil Dormin hires Cookie to cater a party for her brother Sir Adrian. Sir Adrian begins teaching Ellie after seeing her dance, but in his drive to have her achieve perfection, he causes her to ignore her health problems and push herself to perform at his party. Ellie collapses during her performance and is carried off on a stretcher to rousing applause, now requiring the operation she put off. Bob and Cookie get into trouble when Sybil Dormin's stallion, Thursday's Child, turns up at Bob's house after escaping. Bob tries to hide the horse in his garage but it breaks out along with the nag. Frank finds Thursday's Child and returns him to Galloway Park where Esme, Bob and Cookie are preparing to work the party. Bob and Cookie rush out to the stables when they hear their horse, Adriata, has shown up. After being caught by Sybil and her stable manager, Sybil offers to buy their mare to keep control of any offspring. The hospital's new bulk-buying initiative results in a shortage of space and a surplus of soap and tongue depressors.
