Dingley and O'Shaughnessy, a part-time helper at the florist shop, call at Stan's flat on their way to work on Dr Lamb's garden. By coincidence, he happens to be Lena's psychiatrist.

Dingley is very depressed about life and the fact that the Council are going to paint a yellow line outside the shop. Stan gives him a philosophy book called ' Action and Being' and gets more action than he expects. 

Stan gets a film studio contract to deliver Christmas trees. But even a florist has difficulty in getting Christmas trees in June - but on a roundabout? 

Lena can't understand Stan's complete change of character, including his getting out of bed. Stan, however, wants to make his first day as a florist/gardener one to remember. After spending it at Diana's-not all the time in the garden - it proves to be just that.

After an argument with Lena, Stan decides he must get a job because, being an actor, he spends most of his time out of work. He strikes up a friendship with Dingley, who offers him a partnership in his Florist Shop.
