Benny has been kicked out of his digs by the landlady and cannot move in with his girlfriend Molly as she lives with her parents ( and they do not like Benny at all! ). Arriving at Wally and Lil's loaded with suitcases, Benny throws himself upon their mercy. Reluctantly, they allow him to stay for one night but he proves unwilling to leave. Lil tries to throw him out but a gentleman from the council turns up at the door to inform them that Wally and Lil may have to downsize to make housing available for larger families, forcing Lil to allow Benny to stay so they do not have to be rehoused.

Lil later decides that if they must have a relative staying with them, she wants her sister Beatrice to move in, in the face of opposition from Wally, who cannot stand the old bag!

Another funny episode setting the ball rolling for Benny heartless scrounging. True, no one in their right mind would put up with a bone-idle git like Benny but then this is a comedy. Besides, Benny didn't always get his own way. Quite a few times, Lil and even Wally to an extent managed to put his gas at a peep!

Pat Nye, who played Blakey's mum in the 'On The Buses' episode 'The Visit' appears as Lil's hatched faced sister Beatrice.

Funniest bit - Lil telling Wally that Benny has been making advances against her. Wally refuses to believe this as Benny is going out with the more attractive Molly. ''What would he want with mutton stew when he's got a tasty lamb chop?'' he cruelly asks Lil. Lil is hurt. Wally then tells her he was only joking: ''I like mutton stew. With my teeth that's all I can manage!''
