On the Buses

The Inspector insists that busmen learn First Aid and take a proficiency exam. Enlisting the help of his mum and brother-in-law, Stan scrapes through the test with his conductor Jack. But en-route to the Cemetery Gates how will they cope with a real emergency?

The water closet in the smallest room of the Butler household is possibly the noisiest in London. Its nocturnal gurgling and clanging wakes even the most determined sleeper and disturbs the whole neighbourhood. Stan decides to fix it and the fun really starts when he has to assume the role of a do-it-yourself plumber.

A pretty new girl starts at the depot and catches the attention of all the men. However, she's keeping a secret and when the men find out what it is they might not be so keen.

When Jack persuades Stan to take up brewing beer at home the rest of the family shows little interest. Once the beer is flowing it has a romantic influence on Olive and Arthur, Mum starts to sway and Stan is drunk for work!

Every job has its perks and working on the buses is no exception. Arthur and Olive decide to redecorate their room and Stan offers to supply the paint. By a strange coincidence, it seems to match the colour of the buses exactly.

The Indian busmen hold a social evening at the depot canteen and the entertainment includes an attractive snake dancer - with an eight foot boa constrictor!
