The time has come for Redvers Potter to relinquish his role as head of the family confectionary firm, Pottermints - his company has been taken over and he is now going into enforced retirement. His wife, Aileen, is not too happy about having her husband under her feet either, but Potter is determined to make the most of his retirement. He decides he will give people the benefit of his managerial experience - even if they don't want it.

Redvers Potter arrives at work to find his nameplate being removed from his office door. At 12pm his company, Pottermints, is to be taken over but, until then, he is still in charge and he means to assert every last vestige of authority he has.

A trip to the library causes Potter to catch the bus and it "savages" his umbrella. To make matters worse, his sister, Harriet, is staying the night with her artist husband, Willy. They have parked their caravanette on the drive and Potter doesn't trust it.
