1An Errand Boy by the EarThere are protests when Arkwright is caught dragging Granville around by his ear. Whilst Arkwright reasons that this is what errand boys are for, the customers choose to differ and force Arkwright to improve his nephew's lot in life.
2The Ginger MenWhen Arkwright finds himself with a surplus of Jamaican Ginger cakes, he tries various marketing ploys to sell them off, but hits the jackpot when he claims that the cakes contain drugs, leading customers fighting to get at them.
3Duet for Solo BicycleWhen a posh man arrives for directions, Arkwright is concerned that Nurse Gladys is seeing another whilst Granville's love life is also suffering. It is bad enough that when he accompanies Wendy, he only has a bike with which to impress her — but the bike has a squeak, which he can't get rid of.
4How to Ignite Your Errand BoyArkwright considers yet another money-making scheme. Everybody seems to want fire-lighters in the winter so he can save cash by making his own — or rather getting Granville to make them in the shed at the back... with explosive results.
5The Man from Down UnderArkwright learns that a former beau of Nurse Gladys' is returning from Australia, where he emigrated a couple decades ago to make his fortune. Naturally, Arkwright is disheartened to think that Gladys might be tempted by her old flame and sets about to take drastic action with the man he believes to be his rival.
6The Cool Cocoa Tin LidFed up with tank-tops and shop pinnies, Granville decides to court a cool image. He gets a pair of shades and a nice fashionable shirt, but all that stops him from being the archetypal medallion man is a medallion. Perhaps a cocoa tin lid can provide a substitute.
