Albert organizes a series of charity events that Del Boy and Rodney can't resist. However, the Trotters are not the only ones who have their eye on the money. They need to avoid being conned here while also trying to raise some cash, which won't be an easy task since they're still £200 short of their target. Del Boy and Rodney are desperate to get the extra money to win a bet with their fellow market traders, Boycie and Marlene. The prize is a three-night stay in Spain, which the Trotters badly want to win.
To raise the extra cash, Del and Rodney decide to go into the catering business on the streets. Rodney creates "Grandad's Potato Pie," which he's convinced is the bargain lunchtime snack his father needs to make a fortune. However, the pie is not a hit, and the idea is a flop.
As the day progresses, Del and Rodney are conned out of the rest of their cash by some charming conmen who claim to be organizing a charity auction. They sadly realize that they have lost their chance of winning the bet and decide to give up on the idea. But just when things seem their bleakest, some unexpected help arrives from a surprising source.
