Compo is depressed following Blamire’s departure. He and Clegg soon receive a letter from Blamire, however, asking them to help one of their old classmates he ran into, Foggy Dewhurst. Compo and Clegg meet Foggy at the bus station and help him with his luggage. Afterwards, they go to the pub and Foggy ends up in a fight with Big Malcolm whilst defending his regimental scarf.

After being thrown out of the library by Mr. Wainwright, the trio go to the café to find Sid is in trouble with Ivy for not fixing the slates on the roof. Foggy takes charge, attaching a rope to Compo and the other end to Sid’s van to pull Compo up. Sid, however, loses control of the van, leaving Compo hanging from the roof.

In the first part of a two-part episode, the trio, along with Sid and Ivy, crowd in Compo’s nephew, Gordon’s, van for a trip to Scarborough for the weekend. At their boarding house, Compo seems to be obsessively washing his feet. However, he has discovered Nora is staying in the same house and Compo is attempting to catch sight of her undressed. At bedtime, Foggy investigates a strange noise to discover Compo has brought his ferrets with him.

In the conclusion to the two-parter, the trio get kicked out of a church after Compo’s ferrets get loose. On the beach, Foggy decides Gordon needs to be cheered up. After a ride on a donkey doesn’t work, Compo agrees to teach Gordon how to pick up women if Gordon teaches him how to fish. Disaster ensues when the fishing line wraps around a beach buggy and Compo picks up some women which frighten the trio.

After a game of football, Foggy experiences a great pain and says his real forte is playing golf, although he admits he has not played since 1939. Compo and Clegg goad him and he challenges Sid to a game. Foggy’s clubs, however, have warped and he cannot actually hit the ball. Foggy’s game goes on so long they have to finish by gaslight. Meanwhile, Compo discovers the club pays for found balls and undercuts their prices.

The trio go to Gordon’s wedding and Compo buys him an alarm clock as a wedding present. At the church, Foggy tries to photograph the occasion while Compo has problems with his buttonhole. After throwing his flower on the floor, the best man slips on it, breaking his leg and sending him to hospital. Compo is appointed the new best man but soon discovers the ring has gone to hospital with his predecessor. The trio recover it in time for Compo’s alarm clock to go off during the ceremony.

Deciding that the three of them are unfit, Foggy instructs Clegg and Compo in a method of exercise called "isometrics." Their first lesson is to lift a table off the floor by one leg. The trio try the exercise on the tables in the library, only to discover the tables are bolted to the floor. After they actually manage to lift one, they are thrown out and jog towards the café, until Foggy decides they should try horseback riding. Once on, however, they discover they are unable to stop the horses.
