) and Vera (Patricia Franklin
) look forward to their health farm holiday. Once at the caravan site of Major Leep (Kenneth Connor
), Fred starts making eyes at a couple of gorgeous campers, Carol (Sherrie Hewson
) and Sandra (Carol Hawkins

) is lumbered with their giant wolfhound. After a few pints with the amused pub landlord (David Lodge

) living a downtrodden life as the camp's odd-job man,despite having won the Pools. Major Leep is determined to give the place a boost and arranges an evening cabaret for the caraveners but a mix-up over the phone secures a stripper, Veronica (Jenny Cox), rather than the singer he wanted.
