Frank and Betty are taking a second honeymoon, except that Frank is in the station toilet when the train arrives. He ends up having to run for it, manages to grab hold at the back, only to be dragged along the platform until he is eventually pulled inside by the angry guard and returned to Betty. At the seaside resort, the guesthouse is somewhat dilapidated and Frank manages to tear the flimsy bedroom linoleum whilst moving the bed. Attempt to disguise this results in the destruction of most of the contents of the room, so he decides to swap his broken wardrobe, dirty bedspread and torn mat with those in the room opposite ? unaware that it is occupied. The occupant is a psychic, who attributes the mysterious disappearance of the contents of his room to an attempt by his dead grandfather to contact him. At long last, Frank and Betty are ready for bed ? but the bed is not ready for them (the floorboards are rotten and it collapses). Betty and Frank climb down the hole in the floor to the hotel bar and secretly make their escape, wrecking the bar in the process. Luckily, the proprietor will not be able to trace them.
