Muriel tries to get Dudley up a ladder to touch up the paintwork on the front windows, whilst Susan attempts to fulfill a lifelong ambition by mastering the technique of hand-rolling cigarettes. Muriel then decides to get a job - despite protests from her husband - and applies for a vacancy in personnel, narrowly avoiding the lecherous advances of a Mr. Foster. She then lands a job as secretary to Duncan, leaving Dudley to cope with the household chores; he proves to be as inapt at ironing as he is at everything else, blowing all the electric circuits in the house. Dudley gets so far behind with his cartoons that Duncan comes up with a compromise; he will pay Muriel to stay home and nag him.
