Summary
At The Nag’s Head Denzil is talking about picking up a faulty stock of 50 dolls from a shop in High Wycombe and having to take them back to the factory, intending to take them in Monday.
However, there has been a fire at the factory so Denzil cannot take them in, and has to hand in a form to show he returned the dolls. Spotting an opportunity, Del forges a signature from the factory and buys the dolls off Denzil.
In true Trotter form it’s not long before Del realises the dolls are filled with propane gas and are highly inflammable.
