Del strikes up a cushty deal with a retired jewellery dealer called Arnie. When a case of 18-carat gold chains is offered to him, Del agrees buy them to the tune of £12,500. Despite Rodney's objections, Derek ropes Mike, Boycie, Trigger, Albert and
Rodney into a consortium in which no-one can lose. A spanner is thrown into the works when Arnie collapses at a business lunch, seemingly struck by a heart-attack. The ambulance whisks him away, with both the jewellery and twelve-and-a-half grand still on his person. Despite being dead, Rodney spots Arnie collapsing and being whisked away from another restaurant. They've been had, but no-one pulls a fast one quicker than the Trotters and revenge is the only dish on the menu at Arnie's next meal.

Del: Well done, Rodders, that's good thinking.
Trigger: No! He only moved here recently from Lambeth. He wouldn't be on the list yet.
Del: You dipstick!
