When Dexter Munro (Baxter) as well as his brand-new wife Juliet (Sally Smith) obtain wed, they decide to get away Juliet's meddling dad (James Robertson Justice) by getting a review cottage as well as doing it up themselves. However when the cottage proves to be much more broken-down than they thought, and the range of the fixings required far out of their budget, the couples are forced into contacting Juliet's daddy besides. Before long he's used incompetent building contractor Josh Wicks (Ronnie Barker), and the scenario goes from bad to worse.
