The manager of the chain's biggest store is leaving, and Swindley sights a promotion; if he can get Hunt into the post, he'll be hot favourite for Hunt's old job. He plans an intimate dinner party for the chairman, Lord Penge, and his lady, with candlelight and, he hopes, witty discourse. There's just one hitch - Mrs. Hunt can't cook.
