Del Boy, Rodney, and Albert have finally hit the jackpot and are millionaires after unknowingly selling a rare antique watch for a fortune at an auction. With their newfound wealth, they begin living luxuriously and planning their futures. However, with so much money, they quickly realize that they have nothing left to strive for and are left feeling unfulfilled.

As they try to find ways to spend their money, Del Boy decides to buy a country estate and offers Rodney the opportunity to quit his job and become the estate manager. Meanwhile, Albert struggles to adjust to their new lifestyle and longs for the simplicity of their old lives.

As they spend more time at the estate, Del Boy and Rodney begin to realize that their wealth has isolated them from their friends and family, and they miss the close-knit community they had before. They decide to host a party and invite all of their old friends, hoping to reconnect with them.

The party turns out to be a disaster as their guests, who are accustomed to their easy-going ways, feel uncomfortable with the lavish lifestyle they are now leading. The Trotters begin to realize that their wealth has changed them and that they are no longer the same people they used to be.

In the end, they decide to auction off their estate and donate the money to a charitable cause. They use the last of their wealth to buy back their old flat, and they return to their old ways, content with their modest lifestyle.

The episode portrays the dangers of materialism and the importance of staying true to oneself. The characters learn that money cannot buy happiness and that family and friends are the most valuable things in life. The episode is a heartfelt exploration of the human condition and a reminder to appreciate the simpler things in life.
