Sick and tired of bailing his nephew out - often literally, from police custody - Arthur Snr. orders him to go and work as a waiter at one of the family-owned hotels.

However, Arthur Jnr. has fallen head-over-heels for humble shop worker Frances, who saved him from the very worst of his latest sticky situation. Unfortunately she also lost her own job in the fall-out, and so he suggests she head to the south of France too...
