Jack and Victor have crossed the Big Pond to stay with Fiona and are taking in all the tourist attractions - as well as the tacky souvenirs. With such an improved life-style why would anybody want to return to dreary old Craiglang? Where Winston has now got his feet under the table at Isa's. Her cooking is superb but he finds her incessant talking less palatable.

Back from Canada life in Craiglang seems really mundane to Jack and Victor, who consider taking up a hobby. such as enrolling for the First Aid Course at Glasgow University's night school. Boabby has troubles of his own. His custom is dwindling and he can't get his leg over. However, things could change when he brings in a pretty new barmaid and has a quiz night. Armed with their new-found knowledge Victor and Jack are determined to be the quiz champions.

Osprey Heights has suddenly become the venue for a card school and tight-fisted Tam has won disabled Joe's disability scooter from him in a card game. Jack and Victor set out to win it back for him. Whilst Shug gets arrested as a Peeping Tom, Winston has the satisfaction of seeing his long-standing feud with the local bookie work in his favour when he discovers he has won the accumulator. Or has he?

The neds are getting out of hand and need to be taught a little respect for their elders so Jack and Victor enlist the services of their hard man friend 'Big Yin' Innes. There is only one problem. 'Big Yin' must not be allowed near the Miduri, for that liqueur will have a very profound effect on him. Winston, meanwhile, counters bullying his own way when he gets a job at the local supermarket.

For decades reclusive Archie has hidden himself away from the world but now there is no hiding place as the council are due to demolish his house. Jack and Victor take him under their collective wings in an effort to bring him into the twenty-first century whilst Winston decides to turn his flat into a cinema.

The future looks bleak for Winston's leg. Victor pretends to be ill so his son will visit him and Isa meets a psychic in the Clansman and tells her she'll be run over with a car but Navid and everyone make a joke out of it.
