When a high-powered financier becomes interested in investing in Bannister Bathroom Fittings, Rupert is extremely enthusiastic. His company has gone through a period of hardship during the last few years which has dealt a blow to his marriage as well. The only problem is the deal will not go through unless he can retrieve the shares he gave to his wife on their wedding night and, as they are about to be divorced, this could prove to be a major stumbling block.
