Further details
With Barbara Du Prez in prison, Joyce must juggle her domestic existence with the responsibilities as leader of a vigilante gang keeping the streets of Stempington free from common crime. A situation that remains ever complicated given that husband Jeremy, chief of the local constabulary, is entertaining a conference of delegates visiting Stempington to discover why the crime rate is so low.
Maintaining the status quo is never easy for Joyce. She and Camilla will get into a 'bitchy' catfight in the toilets of the local theatre during a performance by a troupe of male Belarusian ballet dancers. The fight is interrupted when the dance troupe suddenly announce that they're making a bid for political asylum.
Joyce becomes suspicious of Camilla's motives when Camilla installs the asylum seekers in the greenhouses and sheds of a local garden centre. It doesn't take long to work out that Camilla's setting up a brothel of male escorts to entertain Stempington's wives. Joyce must squeeze in preparations for a home cooked meal for Jeremy's police delegation with plans for a commando attack to close down the garden centre sex operation. Joyce successfully manages to free the Belarusian dancers and then blows up the garden centre. An action that prompts a furious rage from Camilla who threatens revenge.
Meanwhile, Camilla manages to 'persuade' a member of Jeremy's police delegation Chevy, a bent cop from Miami, to join forces with her. Chevy introduces Camilla to the idea of building a super casino on Stempington Wetlands. This would take Camilla's crimes into the criminal super league!
