Michael Upton wants some peace and quiet to study (again) but is cajoled into taking part in a car rally. He is partnered with the mega posh Fiona who doesn't seem that concerned about making a quick start. They stop off to visit her sister and brother-in-law. As the weather is so bad they stay the night. Fiona's sister is heavily pregnant and about to give birth. Michael sends Fiona out to get the doctor as he doesn't think he can cope. She takes half an hour getting ready and making some tea before Michael can get her to leave. He practices delivering a baby by using a teddy bear and the space between the bars on a wooden chair. When it is time for him to help he faints. On the drive back from the doctors Fiona is seen and followed by Duncan Waring and many other fellow students. They arrive back at the house to find the baby has been safely delivered and go down stairs to drink some champagne. It turns out that the baby was delivered by Mr. Cook the gardener.

Michael Upton is fed up with various noises distracting him so decides to find a new room. He moves his stuff into one and resists the advances of the rather fit girl who let him the room for some reason. Her mother arrives home finds a skeleton in Michael's new room and think he is trying to murder his daughter. He doesn't even enter the next house he goes to see due to an extremely camp gentleman who answers the door. He is put off the third room due to the dead body of the previous occupant still being in the bed. He takes the rather spacious fourth room he visits for only two pound a week. After he moves in he finds it has also been let to Duncan Waring, Dick Stuart-Clark, Huw Evans, Dave Briddock and the latter's girlfriend Helga. As if that wasn't crowded enough Helga's cousin turns up to stay for two weeks.

Michael Upton is cajoled into getting someone to quiz him and Duncan Waring. He is supposed to ask a junior Doctor and ends up asking Professor Loftus. Needless to say they both fail hopelessly and are told to come back at five. Upton is put off by all the food in the canteen and so he and Waring go to the pub and drink three pints of an extra strength cider by the name of appleyard. They return St. Swithin's completely trolled and stumble into a few rooms they shouldn't be in before eventually arriving at their class. Professor Pearson gets them to take part in an experiment on his oxygen machine. Waring messes around drunkenly whilst poor old Upton has to run up and down the stairs a few times. He is not on the machine long before collapsing. They return to the pub where they run into Loftus who orders himself a pint of appleyard cider claiming it a drink for real men.

Michael Upton is trying to move into his room and receives a few visitors. Dick Stuart Clark tries flogging him some old books that Duncan Waring ends up buying. He also leaves him a plastic skeleton on approval which later gets burnt. Dave Briddock makes his first appearance in the series as does Huw Edwards. Later on there is supposed to be a dance at the bar. Most of the lads get drunk and start hassling Alice. Michael jumps in to rescue her and they go to his room so she can dry off. Jealous that he might pull, his friends leave various unsuitable items around his room and then hide in the room next door. At first Alice wants to leave but then she and Michael work out what is going on and make suitable noises to fool the boys next door into thinking they are getting it on.
