Once again, William Bridge has to put aside his ambitions to become a writer and marry his sweetheart Sally when her father, Sir Henry, is involved in a scandal that threatens to put an end to the family's hopes of getting their son Lancelot married to the daughter of a wealthy American security expert. Foiled in his attempts to get his own back by robbing the Courtney family bank, Foxey Fred and his gang find a new way of retrieving their fortunes by blackmailing Sir Henry; and fearful that his wife may find out, he appeals to William for help. Calling on his Uncle Neil for support, William sets out to reveal the true identity of the crooks staying at Courtney Towers posing as Middle East potentates, despite continued opposition from Sally's step mother, Lady Courtney, and a series of female encounters that are enough to test the trust of even the most faithful admirers.

Losing his job at the local newspaper after depicting the sub-editor in a series of unflattering doodles, William Bridge is called on to help his uncle Albert keep his shop going, and he immediately falls in love with Sally, the latest shop volunteer, despite formidable opposition from her autocratic step mother, Lady Courtney. Following a break-in and lost orders, an SOS sent to Albert's maverick brother Neil for back-up support changes everything. On the run from the police, Neil disguises himself as his Aunt Isobel, and encourages William to be nice to a visiting American security expert and his flighty daughter Veronica to promote business, causing a rift in his budding romance. The pressure soon mounts for William to investigate rumours of a shady deal to take over the shop and threaten the life of the village - a price he is willing to pay in a desperate fight to win back his love.
