The owners of four little high street shops are aghast at the arrival of Waverley's Supermarkets and their plan to build a hypermarket.

They are faced with the ultimate fight for survival but there is one shopkeeper among them who would be quite happy to do a deal with the "Dirty Deeds Department" of the slick supermarket chain.
