Jeff gets wind of the fact that Ted has got hold of a hard core pornographic film and will be charging male punters to watch it in the bar after hours.

Ted is annoyed that a model volcano keeps erupting during his act. He persuades Fred to sabotage it so that when the fire inspector calls it will give off excess smoke and be removed as a fire hazard. Jeff learns (from Mr Partridge) that the sabotage is to take place and, along with Gladys, turns up to catch the saboteurs but they get locked in the Three Bears' Cottage for the night whilst trying to enter the bar undetected. Next day the sabotaged volcano belches smoke and is removed - only to be replaced by an equally distracting model of King Kong.
