Arthur is several hours late for work and frantic waiting for his absent-minded mother, Maggie, who just popped out for some milk three hours ago. When she returns, still without the milk, Arthur finds out that Maggie has been receiving Meals on Wheels for six months under the false pretence of having a broken wrist. Arthur manages to confuse the situation and next day is assessed by a social worker and is also identified as being in definite need for Meals on Wheels.
