Summary

Young Mr Grace has died while scuba diving in the Caribbean. He's left all of his money to a charity for 'fallen' women, so the Grace Brothers store has to close down because of lack of capital.

The staff discover that Young Mr Grace had used the staff pension fund money to buy a rundown country house, Millstone Manor.

Mrs Slocombe (Mollie Sugden), Mr Humphries (John Inman), Miss Brahms (Wendy Richard), Captain Peacock (Frank Thornton) and Mr Rumbold (Nicholas Smith) visit the manor house and decide to open it as a hotel.

Getting a new hotel up and running proves to be a much more difficult task than the ex-shopworkers had originally expected.

They are helped (or hindered) by the caretaker, Maurice Moulterd (Billy Burden) and his daughter Mavis (Fleur Bennett).
