With housing so scarce, Amanda gratefully accepts the upstairs flat of a mansion owned by eccentric Lady Carlton. The catch: she must share the flat with loud American Shelley, dim-witted Jennifer, and current occupant, party girl Candice.
Amanda tries to organise life in the flat, with a detailed cleaning rota, but some flatmates are less than enthusiastic.
A pair of kidnappers get more than they bargained for when they kidnap Jennifer during her girl's night out with Candice.
Shelley auditions for drama school, with the help of Jennifer. It doesn't go well and the flatmates pull together to help restore her confidence.
Looking for an act for the community fayre, Amanda 'discovers' a reggae band.
Jennifer loses Lady Carlton's stuffed dog while taking it for a walk, so the flatmates try to convince their landlady that her beloved animal has a message for her from heaven.
