Hyacinth plans a picnic for her father but things go horribly awry when Daddy takes off.

Hyacinth is anxiously awaiting the delivery of her new three piece suite, a exact replica of Sandrigham House's. She does her best to make sure her neighbors will see the delivery. She makes plans to give her old suite to Daisy and Onslow, however her best laid plans go awry.

Daddy disappears from Onslow and Daisy's again and runs amok in a toy store. He is then held hostage by the owners until Hyacinth comes in to pay for the damages.

Hyacinth is invited to Onslow's birthday party so she plans a pre-party cocktail. She also gets excited when she hears about Rose's new boyfriend who is supposed to pick her and Richard up in a limousine to take them to the party and starts telling everyone that Rose is dating a millionaire.

Hyacinth and Richard spend the weekend at a gold resort where Hyacinth thinks she can increase her social standing by being involved with the Major and his wife. Things take a turn for the worse however.

Hyacinth is thrilled when wealthy Mrs. Fortescue asks her for a ride into town, until, that is, they have a run in with Onslow, Daisy and Rose.

Hyacinth sees a strange man coming out of Elizabeth's house wearing nothing but a towel to get the morning milk and she goes nuts until she finds out the truth then does a 180.
