A Fistful Of Pesetas

Alison, Harry’s mutton-dressed-as-lamb ex-wife, turns up in Birmingham, accompanied by her Spanish boyfriend, Luis Perez, who owes money to a wine dealer, Teddy Rawlingston. After Alison mislays the cash that Luis smuggled into the country to pay Rawlingston, Harry offers to settle the debt on Alison’s behalf, despite convincing himself that “That part of my life is over”.

As a way of saving tax, Harry is negotiating with his financial advisor, Mr Marsden, to invest in buying a share of a forest, another of his many money-making schemes.

Ken and Rocky are trying to deliver a statue to a university lecturer, but suspect that it may contain drugs. After a car chase and an arrest in the hotel car-park, it transpires that they have uncovered a major jade-smuggling gang.

The holdall containing Luis’s missing cash is found under the reception desk at the Coaching Inn. However before Harry can get his hands on it, it is accidentally loaded into a taxi with a guest’s luggage and is lost.
