When he pays a visit to a factory up North, Albert becomes a hit with the girls on the shop floor. So much so that it affects production but Albert tells the workers that he belongs with them - his manager has other ideas!
It's a bitter sweet moment for Albert when his best friend, Ian, comes to stay with him in London. He is an instant hit with his girlfriend and her mother - and even his boss takes a shine to him as well!
Albert has a date and, having been inspired by the 'Galloping Gourmet', he decides he is going to cook the meal himself. A nice candlelit supper, couldn't be easier?
On a flight to Glasgow, Albert imagines all kinds of adventures that could befall him - in the style of James Bond. But the flight is quite normal except he lands the air-hostess .. and the sack!
Albert has been sacked after his latest indiscretion had been witnessed by the managing director. He tells his fiancée and she promptly hands his ring back - the future looks bleak for Albert.
