Something is missing from Sid's garden, and he has his suspicions as to who is responsible....
Sid's problems start when the family returns from holiday. Apart from having nothing to wear, everything seems as it was before they left - or is it?
It doesn't often happen that Sid is able to get home from work early, but when he can, he does - and this time it doesn't do him much good.
Of course Sid doesn't have to ask Jean if he can go fishing for the weekend. But Jean is expecting Sid to be home - after all, Sid never plans anything without consulting her.
When Sid gets home after a hard day's work, he's perfectly right in expecting his dinner to be waiting for him - but circumstances dictate otherwise...
Sid and Jean's reminiscences of what happened just after the war make "The Naked Flesh" seem like the epilogue.
Sid's plans for the Saturday afternoon do not include Jean's sister; and if she can't make arrangements to fit in then the only course for Sid is to take to his bed - dangerously ill.
If Jean hadn't started checking up on Sid, because he was late home for supper, then she wouldn't have discovered that he had a date the following evening.
It's not often that Sid agrees with Jean about anything, and when he does it usually takes her by surprise and ends in disaster.
It comes as quite a surprise to Sid to discover Mike would rather not have a gold watch for his birthday - but what he wants instead comes as an even bigger surprise.
Sid waits in trepidation when he finds out that Mr Marshall, his boss, is coming round on Saturday morning. Of course, nothing goes to plan.
Sid's problems start when Betty brings something into the house. Mike also brings something into the house and things get worse.
